It has been a while since I posted anything here, but now things are happening in the Jane Shaw world. Girls Gone By Publishers are reissuing Highland Holiday, the third of the Sara and Caroline books. This is just the first in a series of hard-to-find books that are in the works. There are also plans to reissue House of the Glimmering Light and Crooked Sixpence. I was asked to write the introduction to Highland Holiday and was pleased that they accepted it with hardly a tweak. In the introduction, I provide a biography of the author and an outline of the whole Sara and Caroline saga, from Breton Holiday in 1939 to the short story Sara's Adventure in 1953. Sara's Adventure is also included in the book, with all its illustrations, as well as scans of all the covers and frontispieces of the Holiday books and their reissues as Adventures. Considering all these contents, Highland Holiday is a bargain at £13.00. This morning, I received word that the book has just been sent to the printers and should be available in November. You can purchase your advance copy here.
