Description

50 years ago Gavin Maxwell went to live on the west coast of Scotland, in an abandoned house on a shingle of beach. He was inspired to write THE RING OF BRIGHT WATER which became an undisputed classic. But the chronicle of life with the wild creatures which inhabited that landscape, and especially the domesticated otters who shared it with him continued on beyond that famous book. The rest of the story is contained in two later books. The entire trilogy has never been offered before in a single narrative - this beautifully presented book is the first to do so.

Reviews

"Gavin Maxwell's trilogy is essential reading" - Sunday Herald"
