The plots thicken and more and more characters are introduced in their satisfactory solution, in this story of the Four Winds Harbour folk. Here we meet all the Ingleside young folk—Jem, Shirley and Walter Blythe, and a long succession of Meridiths, their close friends. We share in the vivid accounts of their good times, their work and their play. A fine story of real children, imaginative and high-spirited, set in lovely Prince Edward Island, and undisturbed by the ominous shadow of world events. A juvenile ‘idyll’.—Dustcover.

Queen of Scotland at six days old. Queen of France at seventeen years old. A widow at eighteen.
The young and trusting Mary, Queen of Scots, is sailing home to her kingdom after years in exile. The danger from her cousin, the English Queen, has not lessened since then. Religious divides threaten to tear the nation apart and, across the border, Elizabeth keenly watches this new threat to her throne.
Amid the furious turmoil and uncertainty in her Scottish kingdom, Mary finds she has one loyal servant–James Hepburn, Earl of Bothwell, a ‘glorious, rash and hazardous young man’ known to all as the Galliard. In Bothwell’s courage and love for her, Mary finds serenity, and though fate works against them, no force can conquer their spirit.—Goodreads
