Plot
In the early 17th century, a young girl called Meg lived alone on Exmoor. She had been brought up by an elderly woman Blind Biddy, But, when she was fourteen, Meg found herself alone after Blind Biddy had been condemned and put to death by Josh Mortiboys, a wealthy landowner, who had sworn that Meg would share the same fate. Meg had been, staying with a lawyer who had befriended her, but, one nighty Mortiboys came looking for her. She ran away over the moor from the protection of Lawyer Miller’s house and of Jack Oakley, a friendly farmer, whom Meg had helped earlier. With her pet raven and her deer, she fled across the rain-swept moorland.

Is the artist Phil Gascoine?
Possibly, it does seem similar to his work.
‘Meg – The Hunted One’ ran in JUDY 631 (Feb. 12 1972) – 642 (Apr. 29 1972), clearly starting in the same issue as ‘Scrubcat’.
