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 the authorised republication with an introduction by Ann Scott Moncrieff's daughter for school-age children.

'It’s a novel about the human appetite for life, about the delight in sharing and companionship,…about heroic eccentricity versus agents of conformity.'
