Description:

Two young daughters of an old-fashioned capitalist so provoke him by their wasteful, dissipated habits that he is moved to adopt extreme measures for their reformation. In furtherance of his plan, he compels the girls to accompany him to an uninhabited Canadian island, where he leaves them amid conditions which demand that they learn to draw their sustenance from the surrounding wilds or perish. Through luck, fortitude, and help from unexpected sources, the two victims of excessive parental severity, survive their harsh ordeal, far the worse physically for their experience and without perceptible benefit to their souls.--The Saturday Review of Literature [Suggest a different description.]

Author Bio for Stringer, Arthur

Author Image

Arthur Stringer (February 26, 1874 – September 13, 1950) was a Canadian novelist, screenwriter, and poet who later moved to the United States.

He published 45 works of fiction and 15 other books, in addition to writing numerous filmscripts and articles.

Stringer was popular in his day for his crime fiction and his wilderness adventures, but he wrote in many genres, from social realism (his "Prairie" trilogy, 1915–1921) to psychological fiction (The Wine of Life (1921)). He even wrote early science fiction novels, The Story Without a Name (1924) with Russell Holman, and The Woman Who Couldn't Die (1929).

Much of his writing was for films. Film scripts on which he worked include The Perils Of Pauline (1914), The Hand Of Peril (1916), The House Of Intrigue (1919), Unseeing Eyes (1923), Empty Hands (1924), The Canadian (1926), The Purchase Price (1932), The Lady Fights Back (1937), Buck Benny Rides Again (1940) and The Iron Claw (1941).--Wikipedia.
