Item description
THE KEEPER OF THE ISIS LIGHT
By Monica Hughes.
New York: Atheneum, An Argo Book, 1981.
First U.S. edition, first printing.
"First American edition" statement to the copyright page, 1981 printed to the title page, $8.95 to the jacket's flap.
Winner of the Phoenix Award.
Hughes, a Hal Clement and numerous other Awards winning Canadian-English author, wrote more than forty books, mostly YA science fiction, this is her most highly acclaimed title and the first book in the Isis trilogy.
Olwen, whose parents had died and left a robotic to care for her, lives alone on the planet Isis, a keeper of light, until human settlers from earth come several years later.
An exceptionally nice and well-preserved first printing collectible.
Fine, very tight, and square with a minor soft push-in to the lower spine edge, else crisp in fresh auburn linen with copper embossed titles to the spine; in a fine dust jacket with a minuscule crimp to the upper spine edge, evocative surreal female and small robot on a foreign planet landscape scene art by Ronald Himler, and with still remaining brightly colored yellow and brick titles to the spine panel; original printed $8.95 price still intact to the front inner flap.
NOT an ex-library copy.
The dust jacket will be placed in a clear, removable protective sleeve after photographing for this entry.
