Seller's Description:
Good. Good condition. A copy that has been read but remains intact. May contain markings such as bookplates, stamps, limited notes and highlighting, or a few light stains. Bundled media such as CDs, DVDs, floppy disks or access codes may not be included.
Mildly entertaining but in my opinion the least enjoyable of the several books "Miss Peckwitt" has written about her stay in the Hebrides. Reads more like fiction than her earlier books, especially her first (and best): The Hills Is Lonely.
