Children's & YA
Aboard the Bulger
Ann Scott Moncrieff, illustrated by C. L. Davidson
Description
Five children escape from a Children’s Home, run away and steal a boat, which they sail around the Outer Hebrides.
The book had a huge print run from London Methuen, but their warehouses were bombed in 1940 in Paternoster Row; 5 million books were lost in the fires caused by tens of thousands of incendiary bombs. Consequently, there were very few copies in circulation. This is the resurrection of a successful children’s adventure story.

‘… your mortal tongue
used for immortal use
the grace of a woman young
the air of an early muse
the wealth of a chambered brow and soaring flight of your eyes these are no longer now
death has a princely prize…'
Edwin Muir in To Ann Scott-Moncreiff
Reviews
'‘All ages will enjoy this first-class voyage on a tramp steamer exactly designed for the navigating skill of five children… The Bulger takes us all off the beaten track’.
The Glasgow Herald, 1936
