Description
East Lothian, known as 'The Garden of Scotland', is the setting for this charming story of country life. Peter Kerr's memoir follows four generations of one farming family from the northern Orkney Isles to their new home in south Scotland just before the outbreak of World War II.
The book tells the story of a young boy who grows up on a small farm, where he learns valuable lessons about perseverance and adaptability. As he navigates the ups and downs of life, Peter's ability to find humour in difficult situations serves him well.
This heartwarming and often humorous memoir will appeal not only to those interested in Scotland today, but also to anyone who has heard stories about rural ways that are now largely lost.
