SERVING COLLECTORS SINCE JULY, 1997
Elsie Jeanette Oxenham published 87 books and numerous short stories for girls during the first half of last century. Most of them were set in England but a few were set in Wales, Scotland, Switzerland and France. Here are the places in Scotland that we have found so far. We hope you enjoy "visiting" the places you have read about so often.
The locations that appear in RED actually exist. If you would like to know exactly where each is, go to Multi Media Mapping and enter the name. A map will usually appear on your screen.
Additions and corrections welcome
at all times.
At the beginning of Selma at the Abbey we are
taken on 2 trips by boat from Glasgow. Here are a views of places along the way. Most of
the Scottish books are also set in this area.
