Susan Baxter was a young girl, like many others, with a passion for horses. She was brought up as an only child in the Scottish countryside during the Second World War. In December 1948, she was knocked off her horse by a furniture van and tragically killed on the main Forfar-Glamis road. She was only twelve.
Over the Hills and Far Away lay in a suitcase in St Andrews for 60 years before it was rediscovered in 2008. Susan tells the story of twins running away from their formidable Great Aunt, Lady Toptowers. Their journey from the West Country to Scotland is filled with plenty of unexpected adventures.
