Notes:The third volume of Macdonald's memoirs of growing up on the Isle of Harris in Scotland between the wars. This book covers his final summer before heading away from his village to the town in the northern end of the island for high school at 14. It ends with some of his experiences on the island at the start of WWII.

Review - Corncrake and the Lysander, The

Very enjoyable. The best sections here were about how he helped his crippled friend Hector advertise for a wife — and get one.
