A full colour illustrated book for children aged 4 to 7. This is a charming story about a brave little hen on a Highland croft, who loves to go roaming, and in the end outsmarts the fearsome fox.
In 1940, in Barra in the Outer Hebrides, an 18-year-old woman, Flòraidh, is persuaded to leave her island home when she learns that her stepmother intends to marry her off to the local shopkeeper. She follows her enigmatic friend Lavinia to the city and changes her identity to Laura, like a butterfly, leaving her chrysalis behind, as they join the war effort.
