Description

Nancy Caird was wondering how she could use, to the best advantage, her special qualifications as a trained organist when providence stepped in her way in the guise of Angus Macrae, young and energetic minister of the South Kirk at Easterbraes.  He heard her musings and firmly insisted that she should come to Easterbraes and become his organist.  After a few brief preliminaries Nancy found herself installed in some comfortable lodgings with her friend Desdemona Blackett, who was working in a factory near by, and she set to immediately to make the South Kirk Choir a real success.  But other considerations crept in.  There was Rosalind Blackett, who was determined to rescue her twin sister, Celia, who had been stranded in France since 1940; there was the mysterious tenor who sang in the organ loft at Harvest Thanksgiving; there was the intrepid Czech pilot who flew night after night on secret missions over Europe; and there was the young maid who, at every crisis, was “awa’ to mak’ some drop scones.”  These and other ingredients help to make an original and exciting story for girls.

This new edition has an extra nine pages of background and introductory material by Mary Cadogan and Clarissa Cridland.
