Grace Darling: Or The Heroine Of The Fern Islands is a historical novel written by George William M. Reynolds in 1839. The book tells the story of Grace Darling, a young woman who lived on the Fern Islands off the coast of Northumberland, England, in the early 19th century. Grace Darling's father was the lighthouse keeper on the islands, and she helped him with his duties. In September 1838, a ship called the Forfarshire ran aground on the rocks near the islands during a storm. Grace and her father, along with some other men, braved the rough seas to rescue survivors from the ship. The book details the events leading up to the shipwreck, the rescue, and the aftermath. It also explores Grace's life on the islands and her relationships with her family and the other people who lived there. Reynolds's novel was inspired by the real-life events surrounding the Forfarshire shipwreck and Grace Darling's heroism.
