Auntie Robbo (Paperback): Ann Scott-Moncrieff Auntie Robbo (Paperback)
Ann Scott-Moncrieff; Illustrated by Christopher Brooker
R246 Discovery Miles 2 460 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Hector is an 11-year-old boy living near Edinburgh with his great auntie Robbo who is in her eighties. A woman calling herself his step-mother arrives from England and Hector and Auntie Robbo realise that they have to run away. The chase leads all over the north of Scotland, narrowly escaping police and the authorities, adopting three homeless children on the way. Originally refused publication in London because it was deemed critical of the English, Auntie Robbo was first published in the U.S. in 1940. After success in print it was taken on by Constable in 1959 and later was published in India, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Denmark and Germany.

Firkin speaks in Scots. The Sheep who wasn't a Sheep is about the thoughts going through the head of a sheep, swimming between one Outer Isle and the other.

Aboard the Bulger (Paperback): Ann Scott-Moncrieff Aboard the Bulger (Paperback)
Ann Scott-Moncrieff; Illustrated by C. L. Davidson
R251 Discovery Miles 2 510 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

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.
