Description
The Colquhoun family had suffered a great loss when Mrs. Colquhoun died.
Peggy, who was eighteen at the time, and the eldest daughter, returned home from boarding school to play the role of mother. Shortly afterwards their father also died and they were left in a very serious financial position.
To economise was absolutely necessary; but how were they to do it? It was decided that they should live in a cottage on a small island which luckily was their own property.
This complete and unabridged edition of Goblin Island has been published to mark 100 years since the first edition, itself the first of Elsie J. Oxenham’s stories to be published. It contains many colour and black and white plates and an 11 page article by Ruth Allen titled “Goblin Island: A Signpost to the Abbey”.
