Shortlisted for the Saltire Society First Book of the Year Award 2017 and warranting comparison to the best of Angela Carter and Jeanette Winterson, Dundas' debut finds tomboy Goblin overcoming her situation in wartime London through feats of imagination, returning to the capital in 2011 during the London riots and reflecting on what her imaginative efforts have left her to consider real Goblin is an oddball and an outcast. But she's also a dreamer, a bewitching raconteur, a tomboy adventurer whose spirit can never be crushed.
