From what I've read, when Lin Carter published it in 1970, he made a search for the author and couldn't find her. Since the copyright had expired, he published it anyway. Mirlees apparently died in 1978 and may never have known her book was back in print.
So, my question is,have changes in law renewed the copyright?

This is a
GREAT fantasy. I have it in the
Ballantine Adult Fantasy series, from the late 60s/70s, but it was recently re-released in a trade paper format. I can't remember the publisher, but I saw this about 6 months ago at Border's.
I don't know if it's still in copyright or not; if not, it would certainly be a great ebook to add to the library.
