50 years ago Gavin Maxwell went to live on the west coast of Scotland, in an abandoned house on a shingle of beach.He wrote his immortal classic about it, Ring of Bright Water. His chronicle of life with the wild creatures which inhabited that landscape, and especially the domesticated otters who shared it continued on beyond that famous book. The rest of the story is contained in two later books. This story has never been offered before in a single narrative of Gavin Maxwell's own words.
