Francis Brett Young (1884-1954) was born in Halesowen, Worcestershire and practised as a physician until he was invalided home from the campaign in German East Africa in 1918. He then devoted himself to a career as an author, publishing his Mercian novels, loosely based on a version of his ancestral Midlands and also travelling widely, including South Africa. This title, set in the 1830s, relates the story of a Worcestershire boy, who is transported for poaching, but escapes from his wrecked convict ship on the shores of South Africa, where the greater part of the novel is set.
