About the author
Ellen Mary Robin, who published as E. Gallienne Robin, was a British-Jèrriais writer born on Guernsey in 1861. She is best known for novels and story collections centered on the Channel Islands, drawing on their landscapes, folklore, and everyday life.
Her published work includes titles such as Jeannette of Jersey, Jacquine of the Hut: A Sark Story, Christine: A Guernsey Girl, and Where Deep Seas Moan. She also collaborated with Harold Hannyngton Child on The Channel Islands, showing that her interest in the islands extended beyond fiction into descriptive and historical writing.
Robin died in 1938, but her work still offers a distinctive literary window into island culture. For listeners who enjoy regional fiction, sea-washed settings, and stories rooted in local character, her books have a quiet, enduring appeal.
