Excerpt from A Christmas Gift From Fairy Land The moment he ceased his watch, the traps exhibited the same appearances every morning, and Sim found his dander getting up in such a style, that he could hardly keep from fighting with him self, having nobody else to try his prowess upon. At, first he thought of going over to his next neighbour, about twenty miles off, to see if he wouldn't accommodate him with a fight, but his mind took another direction, and he determined to catch the 'tarnal varmint, whatever it was. He contrived various means, and invented new devices, but all to no purpose, and began to meditate going ahead to some other spot farther West; when he was arrested in his purpose, by one of the strangest adventures he ever encountered in all his life.

The final book by Sumner Locke Elliott, the award-winning author of Careful, He Might Hear You. Drawing heavily on Locke Elliott's own experiences, Fairyland charts the life of Seaton Daly, an aspiring writer coming to terms with his homosexuality in the repressive atmosphere of inner-city Sydney during the 1930s and '40s. Lonely and naive, Daly dreams of escaping to the 'promised land' of the United States. Fairyland is an intimate, affecting, sometimes harrowing portrayal of a lifelong search for love. Sumner Locke Elliott's 'coming out' novel, it was first published in 1990, the year before his death. This new edition comes with an introduction by Dennis Altman. Sumner Locke Elliott was born in Sydney. His mother was the writer Helena Sumner Locke. She died of eclampsia the day after his birth, and the boy was raised by his aunts. Careful, He Might Hear You was Elliott's debut novel. It won the Miles Franklin Award in 1963, was translated into a number of languages and became an international bestseller. In 1983 it was made into an outstanding film directed by Carl Schultz, starring Wendy Hughes, Robyn Nevin and Nicholas Gledhill. Elliott wrote ten novels in all. He won the Patrick White Literary Award in 1977. After a lifetime of concealing his homosexuality, he spent his final years living with his partner Whitfield Cook. Sumner Locke Elliott died in New York City in 1991. 'Beautifully written and moving...an elegantly crafted novel of lasting importance.' Dennis Altman
