Carver's Journey

Elinor Bruce Lyon (17 August 1921 – 28 May 2008) was an English children's author from a Scottish background. Several of her novels are set on the Highland coast. From 1948 to 1976 Lyon wrote over twenty books for children, which had some success on both sides of the Atlantic. She found they "came much more easily" than writing for adults and believes her inspiration came from "omnivorous reading".[8]
