About This Item
Harper Collins, London 1993 hardcover, 9 1/2" x 6 1/4", with dust jacket Ours is an ex-library copy in transparent protective covering, with the usual stamps, stickers etc. Barcode excised from ffep. V slight lean to spine. VERY GOOD book in VERY GOOD price-clipped dust jacket. Red cloth-bound boards with gold type to spine, 13 b&w photographs by author, and index. John Prebble has helped shape people's understanding of Scotland through his historic trilogy, 'The Highland Clearances', 'Glencoe', and 'Culloden'. This current book moves backwards and forwards between Prebble's own recollections, and is the closest he'll ever come to being his autobiography. He emmigrated to Canada with his parents, later becoming a soldier in Germany, and later again it was in Scotland, with her landscapes, history and people, he founded his career as a writer. Prebble reveals himself slowly, as a man infinitely worth getting to know.
