Outrider: Poems 1956–1962 [ Macdonald, 1962 - Fair, DJ, clipped with wear and tears, glue residue on endpapers, Clean text.] is his celebrated second poetry collection, rooted in the landscapes of Western Australia. To the Islands (Miles Franklin Award winner, 1958) [ Angus and Robertson, 1981, good, clean DJ, clean text.] is a study of the conflicts between a white Christian missionary and the Aboriginal people he attempts to control. Midnite [The Bodley Head, 1984, DJ clipped, clean text.] , written with Ralph Steadman, is Stow's popular children's novel about a wild colonial boy. Tourmaline [ Macdonald, London 1963, 1st. Fair - Worn DJ. FEP clipped, clean text.] is a strange, powerful, and terrifying novel set in a dying desert town awaiting a messianic water-diviner. The Merry-Go-Round [Macdonald, London, 1965, 1st. Fair. Clipped DJ. Name penned on FEP, some markings on bibliography page. Foxing on book block. Clean text.] in the Sea sees the heritage of a land built on convict settlement and South Pacific paradise clash with the values of a new Australia emerging from World War II. Visitants [ Secker & Warburg, 1979, good DJ, clean text.] follows the suicide of an Australian patrol officer on a remote New Guinea island in 1959, with five witnesses called to a government inquiry unravelling the mystery strand by strand, against a backdrop of a UFO sighting and a cargo cult
