The Dew of Their Youth
The Dew of Their Youth, published in 1910, is told by Duncan MacAlpine, son of the schoolmaster of Eden Valley in the south of Scotland, who helps his father teach and keep order in the village school. A deserted house said to be haunted, Marnhoul, stands near the village, and the arrival of the strange Miss Irma, a new doctor and a band of smugglers draws Duncan and his friends, into adventures in the woods and along the shore. The story follows them from schooldays into early manhood and womanhood, through rivalries, a revival meeting and love. S. R. Crockett writes with humor and affection for Galloway life.
