Yeardon and wife Anne settled into a cottage in Ardhasaig on the west coast of Harris for a year, taking the time to get to know the landscape, people, culture and tradition of the island, long a place of crofts and weavers. In this fine account, peppered with the author's drawings, Yeardon writes with lively sympathy and appreciation of the place and its people -- and even of the weather.
