She contributed to the making of BBC programmes and her first published literary work was a children's story, Aboard the Bulger, which appeared as a serial in "The Bulletin" before its publication in book form. Later appeared a volume of short stories, The White Drake and Other Tales. Her last book, Auntie Robbo, was published in the United States in 1940.[1]
Ann Scott-Moncrieff died in 1943. She was survived by her husband and three children.[1] Her three children's books have been re-issued by Scotland Street Press.[2]
