About this title

Synopsis

While stories as such as "Alicky's Watch" depict the influence of the Calvinist religion, darker aspects are offset by the comedy found in "The Money" or "Pedestrian". Contributors to this collection of Scottish short stories include Naomi Mitchison, George Mackay Brown and Iain Crichton Smith.
