RUTH M ARTHUR MY DAUGHTER NICOLA DRAWINGS BY FERMIN IN SOUTH AFRICA

Mostly content with her life in a small village - lying at the feet of "the most magnificent mountain in the whole of Switzerland," Nicola's days were filled with school during the winter, and caring for the dairy cows in the high pastures during the summer. But just as the Mountain was always there, a sort-of personality in its own right, so too was Nicola's conviction that her father's approval might be won through some act of daring.
