Her first, full-length novel, They Found a Cave, was accepted in 1947 by Frank Eyre of Oxford University Press in England who was impressed with the freshness of its bush setting and its characterization of children. Mrs Chauncy was to publish twelve novels with Oxford. She won the Children's Book of the Year award for Tiger in the Bush (1958), Devil's Hill (1959) and Tangara (1961), and was the first Australian to win the Hans Christian Andersen diploma of merit. A film of They Found a Cave was released in 1962. Her fourteen novels included the partially autobiographical Half a World Away (1962), The Roaring 40 (1963), High and Haunted Island (1964), Lizzie Lights (1968) and The Lighthouse Keeper's Son (1969). Nan was innovative in her treatment of Aboriginal issues: Tangara and Mathinna's People (1967) are generally regarded as her finest work.For more information see: http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/chauncy-nancen-beryl-nan-9735
