Published in November 1941, just weeks before Pearl Harbor and the United States' entrance into WWII, Under the Sea-Wind was admired by its early readership, but sold poorly. It was not until 1951, with the publication of her National Book Award-winning sequel, The Sea Around Us, that Under the Sea-Wind received its long-overdue recognition and republication by Oxford University Press.
