Ring of Bright Water, A Trilogy
• Gavin Maxwell
NATURAL HISTORY •
2011 •
PAPER
• 352 PAGES
• YOUNG ADULTS
One of the great wildlife stories, published in a new omnibus edition by David R. Godine and faturing Maxwell's orginal drawings, this magical book weaves together the Scottish otter stories from Gavin Maxwell's three non-fiction books, Ring of Bright Water (1960), The Rocks Remain (1963), and Raven Meet Thy Brother (1969). Maxwell was also talented as an artist, and his sinuous line drawings of these amphibious and engaging creatures, and the homes they occupied, illustrate his story. This book stands as a lasting tribute to a man, his work, and his passion. It was received and has endured as a classic for its portrait not only of otters but also of a man who endured heartaches and disappointments, whose life embodied both greatness and tragedy. He writes with rare eloquence about his birth, his devotion to the beloved Scottish highlands, and the wildlife he loved.
