The finest book ever written on nature and landscape in Britain: said a newspaper of this when it was first published. The manuscript was completed in 1944, Nan Shepherd showed it to a friend, who thought it would be tough to find a publisher.

Shepherd recevied one rejection and then left the MS in a drawer. In 1977, Aberdeen University Press printed a small edition. Later, Robert Macfarlane was introduced to it and wrote: "I read it, and was changed" in his first-rate introduction. You will be, too.

Beautiful account of the Cairngorms

4 žvaigždutės

Amazing books about the writer's relationship with the Cairngorm mountains. It's all written in beautiful language, although with long complicated sentences. The way that she views nature and how she wanders around the place is inspiring.
