Crockett returns to the Galloway country of southwest Scotland eight years after his first Stickit Minister collection, dedicating the book to the memory of Robert Louis Stevenson. These stories of country life mix comedy and feeling: courtships, kirk quarrels, farm families and strong-willed women like Elspeth Stuart, told in Scots-flavoured dialogue.
A good sampling of the Kailyard school at its warmest, for readers who enjoy Scottish rural fiction. Download the free EPUB.
