Beschreibung

[1923]. 251pp. Ethel Forster Heddle (1863-1942) is an elusive figure, and little is known about her personal life. She seems to have been one of ten children born in St. Andrews to physician and geologist Matthew Forster Heddle and Jane Sinclair MacKechnie. Heddle wrote 21 novels, two of which were published under her married name, Ethel F. H. Marshall. Most of these, including The Mystery of St. Rules (1902) and Girl Comrades (1907) were adventure stories for girls, similar to those of her better-known contemporary, Angela Brazil. But she also wrote novels about young career women, such as Three Girls in a Flat (1896), and Kailyard sketches of Scottish life such as Marget at the Manse (1899). Book has black titles to front cover with pasted down colour illustration. Advertisement for 'D.&W. Auchterlonie Golf shop (St Andrews) to rear cover. Light foxing to covers. Page edges browning. Previous owner's name and date to title page. Minor creasing/bump to the middle of the outer edge of the first 15 pages. Binding tight - a very good copy.
