Flight of the Doves

by Walter Macken

Published March 1968
A twelve-year-old English boy and his seven-year-old sister run away from their abusive stepfather and set out to reach their grandmother in western Ireland, despite the publicity about their flight and a police search for them.

A terrifying storm washes Conor, his little brother, and two American friends up on to Ox Island where they become prisoners of the eccentric Lady Agnes who will stop at nothing to uncover the Druid Treasure.
