| Content | Content Hull and Whitlock met as school children and decided to write a children's adventure story set on Exmoor in the mold of Arthur Ransome adventures. They wrote alternate chapters, exchanging them afterwards to edit. Whitlock sent the manuscript to Ransome and he recommended it to his publisher Jonathan Cape as 'the best children's book of 1937'. Cape published it and persuaded Arthur Ransome write the introduction. Subsequent books by the same authors are Escape to Persia (1938), The Oxus in Summer (1939) and Crowns (1947). |
