: SWORD IN SHEATH is the hardest of the three books to find. I don't have a reading copy myself. Your best bet is to hope for an extra paper edition. : 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 on the unpublished uncompleted (Central America ...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.
