ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Paperback, 1991). (1983) 1991 paperback reprint. 8vo paperback (152 x 232mm). Ppxii,187. B/w photographs and illustrations by the author, maps, photograph end-papers. Small stain to front cover, good-plus second-hand paperback. "An Element of Regret (a documentary film screened in October 1984) reflected this classic account of a vanished Highland lifestyle and from it drew material for parts of this challenging film. The author plays a leading role expressing, as he does in this book, the sensitivities of a Highlander for the irreparable changes inflicted upon his native glens. Through a life hidden in the wilderness of Wester Ross his shepherding days glimpse the spirit of high corrie and falling torrent. The tale is not told without humour and pathos of a time before the need for cheaper electricity flooded home and pasture alike. His haunting narrative records a time of peace and happiness once to be found in an untamed world. Many may dream, none can be unaffected." . Seller Inventory # 33845
