Moon in My Pocket is a 1945 novel by Morris West under the name "Julian Morris". It was West's first novel and was written while he was in the services.[1][2]
The Sydney Morning Herald later wrote " The main interest of this, slight if sincere book... is West's reliance on two elements that were to become central to his writing: moral crusading and the use of real-life situations."[3]
It was published by the Australasian Publishing Company, a branch of Harrap's Publishing Company in London, and sold more than ten thousand copies.[4][5]
