Call this shelf a bit of a Sneak Preview. It includes eight books of juvenile/young adult fiction by Scottish author Ruth M. Arthur (1905-1979), who I intend to do a full and proper post on one of these days. Her books, including The Saracen Lamp, have a very passionate niche following. Many of them blend historical settings or characters with a touch of the supernatural. Here's a little more about The Saracen Lamp from Twitter to perhaps pique your interest.
Professor @JBHist recommends The Saracen Lamp by Ruth M. Arthur as one of the books that made her into historian. At #ThinkHumanFest Joanne hosts Craft Activism: an event that comprises an exhibition & short talks. Book now: https://t.co/YnUv6BWwlA What are the #booksthatmadeyou? pic.twitter.com/De7vkgkiwh

Also on this shelf, pretty much by coincidence, is another Arthur: Arthur's Christmas Cookies, which I just wrote about in December.
