Autor Hamish M. Brown
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 dec 2007
Seton Gordon was only a boy when he began exploring the Cairngorms, fascinated by its wildlife and seeking to photograph all he saw - he later became a pioneer naturalist, photographer and folklorist. He wrote about the land that is Scotland, her flora and fauna, her people, and her spirits. This anthology gives an insight of the man.

Recenzii

'...it is a kaleidoscope of a way of life in the first half of the 20th century, a contribution of great importance. There are customs, myths, fairy stories and legends to fascinate anyone in the HIghlands and Islands and beyond. ...An utterly fascinating book'. Highland News'...Hamish Brown's compilation of Seton Gordon's work ...will be highly acclaimed in many circles, and rightly so. It covers a large area of Scotland and contains an abundance of material to keep the reader's attention, chapter after chapter'. Stornoway Gazette
