Children of the Sun is a 1957 book by Morris West. It was his first international success. The book was a best seller in Europe and England and marked a turning point in the career of West. The Sydney Morning Herald said "with this work, West not only found his way as a writer but discovered the theme that would underpin almost all of his subsequent books ? the nature and misuse of power. Of the 18 novels he was to write post-1957, 15 are on this subject."VINTAGE PAPERBACK.FOXING DUE TO AGE. CREASES TO SPINE AND COVER-SMALL SIZE -WILL COMBINE BOOKS TO SAVE POSTAGE
