Well written, and great for children.

Finally! I was slow, but it was good to dip into occasionally, when some ancient Scottish Gaelic fits the mood.

F & J really enjoyed it, and recommend I try it too.

This masterpiece is even better with repeat reading.

It really helps that I know the Cairngorms so much better than before, so I can relate to Nan’s words even more closely.

Re-reading a masterpiece.

Insufferable. Tried reading it a few times, and now it’s sat unread for months, so I’ll give it up as a bad job.

Superb. A book about fabric (which is really the story of trade, politics, engineering…) interwoven with personal tragedies.

Christmas present

Probably only worth reading if you’re an avid skier or kayaker wanting details of routes in Norway.

To me, it’s a massive, overly dense collection of holiday photos and diary entries. An editor could cut about 80% of it to create something slightly more interesting.

F liked it and thought it would be good for me, too.
