The Tinker and the Student is the second volume of David Campbell s biography of acclaimed Scottish storyteller Duncan Williamson. This volume chronicles Williamson s life from the time he met his second wife, the young American student Linda Jane Headlee, until his death in November 2007. Campbell recounts how Linda played a pivotal role in bringing Williamson s stories out of the travelling world to the wider community, and in doing so shows the impact that Williamson made on the lives of the people he came into contact with.
