Críticas:
'Throughout the pages of this heart-warming account...the reader can clearly detect his lifelong affair with the land' * Scottish Field * 'The characters of the young Ian, and 'the boss', Aunt Kit and the feisty Peg, are vividly and humorously drawn' * The Oxford Writer * 'a charming and engaging read' * Dumfries & Galloway Standard * 'guaranteed page-turner' * Stirling Observer * 'A classic description of life in the Scottish countryside. I found it compulsive reading with the author's use of humour enhancing the anecdotes. Both town and country folk will find it delightful addition to their library' - Eddie Straiton, TV Vet.
Reseña del editor:
Ian Campbell Thomson relives his time as a young farmworker on a Stirlingshire farm after the Second World War. It is a touching coming-of-age tale as the author makes new friends and experiences romance while finding his own way in an ever-changing world with the passing of age-old country ways, as technology begins to replace traditional farming methods. The book is dedicated to Donald and Blossom, the magnificent pair of Clydesdale horses with which he ploughed, until the sad day when they were replaced by a smart Fordson tractor. Of those early times he writes: `I often wondered how far I walked in a day behind the plough. My guess was somewhere between 12 and 15 miles ... the words "the ploughman homeward wends his weary way" just about sums up the end of the day trudge back to the farm, with darkness closing in and the stable work to be done.' Peopled with memorable characters including the hard-working `boss', and the wise Aunt Kit, this is a unique tribute, full of humour and nostalgia, to a disappearing culture.
