About this book
Where the Forest Murmurs is presented on its title page as a collection of nature essays. The narrator recalls hearing old Sheumais Macleod’s words long ago and says their deep impression on a child’s imagination helped preserve them almost exactly. The old islander knew how to use the tides’ comings and goings, meeting them when friendly and evading them when hostile.
The discussion of midsummer-night creatures describes the owl’s silent flight and its cries as part of the associations of warm summer nights. The woodland description places cattle beside a brook, motionless or swinging their tails, and likens columnar trees to phantom smoke as thunder-time arrives.
