By S.R.Crockett ( Violet Volume 7)
Crockett’s final published novel ‘raids’ his own childhood in a loosely autobiographical story of his last boyhood summer, among friends on Rough Island. It’s vintage Crockett and reminds us all of the halcyon days of our youth. Published posthumously in 1926 and long out of print this is a rare lost classic!
‘Who has not seen Rough Island, has seen very little. It is a Paradise for boys, and I would rather be a boy on Rough Island than either Czar or Kaiser. Of course I have not tried these latter positions, while I have been a boy on Rough Island.’
‘It appears (when you first read about it) dreadfully romantic to live in a cave, going exploring, having baskets let down and so on. But after the first day it gets fearfully dull.’
