It is 1934. Five children run away from a cruel orphanage, steal a magical steamship, and go on many marvelous adventures around the Hebridean Islands. A wild and rollicking tale where children take hold of their destinies. As timely now as it was when it was first published, climb Aboard the Bulger and sail out into uncharted waters, facing mysterious witches and harnessing your courage in the face of the unknown.

This is the resurrection of a successful children’s adventure story. The book had a huge print run from Methuen, however, the books were lost in December 1940 when tens of thousands of incendiary bombs famously missed their target, St. Paul's cathedral, only to destroy more than five million books in the storage offices of four publishers. Consequently, there were very few copies in circulation.

About the Author

Ann Scott-Moncrieff was born in Orkney in 1914 and died in Nairn in 1943. During her short life she was a journalist, writer and a poet who was immortalized by Edwin Muir in his poem "To Ann". This is a republication for school-age children of a neglected Scottish female writer of the 1930s.
