The Heather-Moon

he story opens with Barribel MacDonald, a girl of nineteen, almost a prisoner in her grandmother's house. She has been kept in ignorance of her parents, whom she has never seen. She knows that her father is dead. The attic of the old house has always been a place of alluring mystery from which she has been carefully excluded and when one day she slips in, she learns the truth. That night, after being sent to her room as a punishment, she rolls what little treasures she has into a bundle and sets out for London.

It is the story of her adventures which the Williamsons tell in "The Heather Moon." The charm of the Scottish countryside runs through all the pages and there is a very interesting love story which unfolds under the skilful touch of these two popular writers.
