Child of the Moat
Published in the early 20th century, 'Child of the Moat' by Ian Bernard Stoughton Holborn is a children's adventure novel inspired by the author's experience rescuing a girl during the sinking of the RMS Lusitania. Written specifically for young readers, the story begins with a gruesome chapter, reflecting Holborn's belief that children prefer thrilling tales with dark beginnings and happy endings. The book is dedicated to Avis Dolphin, the girl he saved, and aims to provide an engaging narrative that challenges the conventions of children's literature at the time.
