 1536038812,
First Edition; 8vo; pp. 32; sketch illustrations; original wrapper over stiff card, minor fading to wrapper, dustjacket, very good copy. Melbourne, 1944. The author was born in 1905 at Glenore, Tasmania, it was only in the early 1940's, shortly before her death that Miss Davis concentrated fully on writing. Although she was suffering from cancer, she went on to complete "I, The Thief " an extended dramatic monologue describing the release of Barabbas and Christ's crucifixion through the eyes of the felon who was nailed to the cross at Jesus's right hand. She produced a poem of private religious experience which, despite its Victorian mannerisms, was a moving representation of physical agony and ultimate, mystical vision.
