The Crofter and the Laird
John McPhee
TRAVEL NARRATIVE •  1978 •  PAPER  • 159 PAGES • FAVORITE

In this volume, McPhee returns for a year to his ancestral land, the island of Colonsay in the Scottish Hebrides, to tell the stories of people whose lives are deeply entrenched in their land. With his characteristic grace and admiration for his subjects, McPhee writes about this stark region where residents still live under an almost feudal system of farmers, crofter and lord.  (SCT23, $16.00)
