Derrin Lennox is only 18 when, on holiday with her parents in the West Highlands, she meets an artist and falls in love. And she falls in love not only with Keith Rossiter, but with Ardglen, a beautiful isolated place on the Sound of Sleat opposite Skye. Intuitively she knows she will always be happy there, and ever afterwards, wherever she is, when troubles threaten she always longs to return. Never before published, Return to the West was written in the 1930s, before Mabel Esther Allan turned to writing for children. This edition includes an introduction by the author herself, written to a friend in the 1980s. The cover shows Glenelg Bay and village, the Ardglen of the story. This was the first of several books the author set in this "especially beloved place".
