: : My guess for the reason that this is hard to find is the subject matter, hence fewer purchases by libraries. The first book was WWII. This, the second book is post war and pertains to : The one she got the commendation from the Dutch Queen for. Truly excellent. : the islands in the pacific which are truely lost. (Hence the UK edition title ISLAND OF THE LOST.) The third book returns to what : Well.... Nonexistant in our world. In my opinion, the UK title refered to something slightly different (lost civilization on one island). It's a "sorta fantasy and sorta not." She set the thing in an "area no one knows about," only, a few years later, there were no such "fuzzy places on the map" (of the Phillipines, actually, IIRC). So the book is in worse of a limbo than just being YA by an SF author. : Any more info. on the unpublished uncompleted (Central America ... Sword Points South) 4th book? : Andre Norton does best; the story of a young man who tries his best. Alas and Alak, according to the fameous Starlog interview, the manuscript for the fourth Sword book was thrown away along with two sequels to The Prince Commands and a book about Victorian women writers and something else I cannot remember. She said this to remind writers to never,never,never throw anything away. I later asked the Lady about the 4th Sword book(set in South America) She said that there was very little to it, maybe an outline and a few paragraphs. I once dreamed (right after reading the starlog interview) that an excavation in a Cleveland landfill turned up all these "lost" manuscripts somhow miraculously preserved and I was able to get them published. Later, I realized that these "Manuscripts" were probably not even complete enough for publication, but the dream was nice.later--Paul
