Book Overview
When the intensities of family life become too much for eight-year-old Art, he turns to Old Hector for comfort. Thwarted from fulfilling his burning desire to go to the River, he seeks out the old man who can still poach a salmon with the best when he chooses. Through Old Hector's tales and his own experiences, Young Art learns about the painful business of growing up. This is one of the finest evocations of childhood ever written, conveying all the magic and misery and the bursting joys of being a small boy in a great and mysterious world.

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
If anyone has never been to the Scottish Highland's and would like to read how it looks and canjure up the smell the sights & the lifestyle almost gone forever then read this..i've lived in the highlands and this is like taking a walk in the hills every time you pick it up, it's also a great study of an old and wise man passing on his way's to his younger admirer. Neil Gunn is the most ignored and virtually undiscovered Scottish version of John Steinbeck...Educate and enlighted yourself..or stay in the dark......
