Book Description
Meet some familiar - and some less familiar - inhabitants of Bruach. Back with more comical escapades are Erchy and Morag, the philandering Hector and Hamish, with his unusual talent for nursing lambs. We meet also Bonny the cow, Crumley the bull, and Harry the hedgehog that make up 'Miss Peckwitt's colourful and uncontrollable collection of animals and other livestock'.
About the Author
Lillian Beckwith was born in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire, in 1916. Her father's grocery shop provided the background for her autobiographical book About My Father's Business, which describes a 1920s family from a child's viewpoint.
She went to live in the Hebrides before the Second World War and stayed for nearly twenty years. Her hilarious initiation into crofting life is captured in the heartwarming book The Hills is Lonely. She acquired her own cottage, and living and working on her own croft gave rise to her series of magical Hebridean books such as The Sea for Breakfast. She now lives on the Isle of Man.
