Firkin and the Grey Gangsters is a collection of four tales in which animals are the heroes. "Sandy had never felt so wide awake. He contemplated the vast milky blue pond of the sky. The crescent moon, he thought, writhed in it like a little silver fish. How he would like to pin it down with his strong beak." "Firkin and the Grey Gangsters" was in 1936 a metaphor for the fear of takeover by corporate America - Firkin is a young red squirrel who leads his people in a battle against a horde of grey squirrel invaders from America. Firkin speaks in Scots. "The Sheep Who Wasn't a Sheep" is about the thoughts going through the head of a sheep, swimming between one Outer Isle and the other. "The White Drake" is a farmyard drake in Perthshire learning about flying.

It is 1934. Five children run away from a cruel orphanage, steal a magical steamship, and go on many marvelous adventures around the Hebridean Islands. A wild and rollicking tale where children take hold of their destinies. As timely now as it was when it was first published, climb Aboard the Bulger&nbsp;and sail out into uncharted waters,&nbsp;facing mysterious witches and harnessing your courage in the face of the unknown. This is the resurrection of a successful children's adventure story. The&nbsp;book had a huge print run from Methuen, however, the books were lost in December 1940 when&nbsp;tens of thousands of incendiary bombs famously missed their target, St. Paul's&nbsp;cathedral, only to destroy&nbsp;more than five million books in the storage offices of four publishers. Consequently, there were very few copies in circulation.
