"Violet Methley was an English author, mostly of children's books, who set a significant number of her many books in Australia, or used Australian characters in English settings. Nothing is known of her life, but her extensive use of Australian settings and characters suggests that she spent some time in this country." [Source AustLit]. The novel concerns two children who go missing in the Australian bush towards the end of the Second World War.
