Here's a book for the Bambi market. It is a story of a kangaroo's babyhood and growth and experiences in the world of men; a tender animal story with depth of appreciation of nature, in its early part, and gusto as the story gathers force. The background is Australia. The author wrote a novel, Singing Gold, which sold over 30,000 copies, and this book, in entirely different vein, reveals her as a flexible and gifted writer.
