Northern Lights is something of a landmark for GGBP.
It was first published in 1999 under the imprint Brockleside Press, after its discovery as an unpublished Lorna Hill title. It was only ever intended as a one-off, to make the book available to Lorna Hill fans, but its success led to the publication of a few titles under the Friends of the Chalet School imprint, and from there to the founding of GGBP in 2001.
Northern Lights is the fourth title in the Marjorie series, and this new edition is long overdue as we have received numerous e-mails and letters requesting that we republish it.
We have included the original preface by Lorna Hill’s daughter, Vicki Emley; there is also be a new introduction by Clarissa Cridland. In addition, we have included in the book a recently discovered short story by Lorna Hill, Charles and the Veritys, which was originally published in the 1950s.
Although this is not a Marjorie story, the characters are very similar and readers will see just why we have included it with Northern Lights.
