On the Scottish island of Skua, friendship develops between the
lonely and mysterious Perdita and a blind girl, Janey. Both possess
a kind of second sight - Janey's is the ability to hear, feel and
remember more than others, and Perdita's is the ominous legacy of
her being a witch's daughter. When Janey's brother, Tom, starts
investigating a cluster of mysterious events and suspicious
characters, all three become entwined in an adventure of hidden
jewels, desperate criminals and dangerous detection. Written in
1963, The Witch's Daughter showcases Nina Bawden's innate regard
for the integrity of her young characters. As she has said: 'I like
writing for children. It seems to me that most people underestimate
their understanding and the strength of their feelings and in my
books for them I try to put this right.' Hugely admired on
publication by both reviewers and readers, it was described as
'thrilling' by the Times Literary Supplement.
