"Jean Erskine's Secret"
 Probably written c.1917, this novel opens in 1913 with the Erskine family moving from Edinburgh to the Scottish east coast village of Crale, where Jean’s life is transformed by her friendship with Diana MacDonald of Crale Castle. She writes a book telling Diana’s story; of friendships and love affairs, of family and village life, all shadowed by the much darker themes of the Great War and devastating inherited conditions.  At the heart of the story is the secret, known only to Jean, that threatens Diana’s hard-won happiness.

"Found in the Attic"
A selection from the unpublished papers ‘found in the attic’ by the author’s granddaughter. They include short stories (including a gentle revenge on critics, an eccentric maid, a ventriloquist desperate for work and a very human burglar); verse (a burlesque, some war poems); two delightfully witty one-act plays, and articles and talks on books and writing.  Illustrated with family photographs. The articles on books and writing especially offer an exciting insight into this beloved author.

Three books (soon to be five) with material from DES's very early days as an author are now available. We have made arrangements with the publisher in Scotland to be the exclusive North American distributor for these books.

'D. E. Stevenson wrote many novels of life in Scotland and/or England, beloved by loyal fans world wide. Since her death in the 70's, it was thought that we would have no new novels from her pen. However, two years ago her grandaughter discovered some previously unpublished manuscripts in her attic.

The publication of "new" books by D. E. Stevenson 40 years or so after her death has been a joy to her fans. While these early works aren't quite up to the level of quality of her mature works, a weak novel by D. E. Stevenson is still better than the best works of many lessor writers.' - Jerri C. of the ATS, AT and  DES email discussion groups

"Portrait of Saskia"
 
 

"The Fair Miss Fortune"
 

"Emily Dennistoun" ["Truth is the Strong Thing"]

'This novel, with action set in both England and Scotland, tells of the life of Emily Dennistoun as she escapes the domination of her tyrant father and learns to trust herself and her true love. Other memorable characters are part of this tale. And, as always, D. E. Stevenson's descriptions of the countryside of both England and Scotland transport the reader to another time and place.' - Jerri C. of the ATS, AT, and DES email discussion groups. 

Here is a very nice BBC Scotland article about the first two books.  Jerri C. and I were very nervous about the interview given while we were in Moffat. 

Here is our D.E. Stevenson catalogue .
