An 11-year-old girl stays with her uncle, a sorcerer, while her father travels with Sir Francis Drake on a search for treasure. Some Christian references. SPOILER: Nice moral---an evil witch becomes good when someone treats her kindly, for the first time. So the dross that is turned to gold is not metal, but the heart. explains what is true and that people then thought alchemy worked.
Apparently the author is the founder of the Tolkein Society in Britain. She was born in 1898.
