Biographical note
ANN SCOTT MONCRIEFF was born in Orkney in 1914 and died in Nairn in 1943. During her short life she was a journalist, writer and a poet who was immortalized by Edwin Muir in his poem ‘To Ann’. This is a republication for school-age children of a neglected Scottish female writer of the 1930s.
Five children escape from a Children’s Home, run away and steal a boat, which they sail around the Outer Hebrides.
The book had a huge print run from London Methuen, but their warehouses were bombed in 1940 in Paternoster Row; 5 million books were lost in the fires caused by tens of thousands of incendiary bombs. Consequently, there were very few copies in circulation. This is the resurrection of a successful children’s adventure story.
