About this book
Winter roads, village libraries and literary meetings shape Daniel Turner Holmes's account of travelling through Scotland. His visits take him to remote mainland communities and islands, where donated collections of books give him an occasion to speak about literature. He records the practical difficulties with amusement: long coach rides, uncertain crossings and a train stranded among snowy mountains all become part of the work of bringing books and conversation to scattered readers.
The account also turns toward education and everyday life. A visit to Golspie Technical School describes boys learning household tasks alongside science, art and modern languages, while views across the Sound of Sleat show the landscape encountered between engagements.
