Another wonderful and entertaining book. Lillian Beckwith brings to life the many facets and quirks of Hebridean life! I have always loved her books.

Charming
A book written obviously for the England and Scotland market. The book provides a humourous and interesting insight into the
Northern Islands. Great fun!!

For the armchair traveller
I first read this series of books about 40 years ago and was reminded about them when I watched a recent bbc series called Crowdie and Cream, set on Harris in the Hebrides. These books transport you to Bruach, The gentle humour and the wonderful characters and events will welcome you into the pages. If you enjoy such as Larkrise to Candleford and Cranford novels,then you wont be disappoined in Lillian Beckwiths tales of her life as a crofter.
