by Dorothy Evelyn Smith ‧ RELEASE DATE: Aug. 20, 1951
With more of an appeal to girls this story of a youthful rebel against the strictures of society has a wistful charm. Even at seven, Ruan, child of a Non-Conformist minister and a beautiful, gently born mother, was sharply aware of some of the contradictions in her life. A strange but imaginative childhood and the presence of David, four years her senior, forms the background for tragedy or change which alters the pattern of Ruan's life. A vaguely pre-World War I English setting.
