Ann Scott-Moncrieff (1914–1943) was an author who was the daughter of Major J. D. M. Shearer. She was born in Kirkwall, Scotland, in 1914.[1] She attended the University of Edinburgh[1] and married George Scott-Moncrieff in 1934, a Scottish novelist and topographer.
She contributed to BBC programmes, and her first published literary work was a children's story, Aboard the Bulger, which appeared as a serial in "The Bulletin" before its publication as a book. A volume of short stories, The White Drake and Other Tales, were created. Her last book, Auntie Robbo, was published in the United States in 1940.
Scott-Moncrieff died in 1943; she was memorialized in a poem by Edwin Muir.[2] Her three children's books have been re-issued by Scotland Street Press.[3]
