About This Book

A city girl arrives at a Highland glen and, enchanted by the moorland and loch, forms a friendship with a local child who teaches her rural crafts and guides her through fir-woods and village life. Scenes move between outdoor adventures, discoveries among fishermen and gypsies, and parish gatherings, then shift to a return to urban surroundings with visits that recall the countryside, a fairylike interlude, and a park outing. Themes of curiosity, cross-cultural friendship, and the contrast between town and country are woven through episodic episodes that culminate in a journey beyond the mountains, opening new possibilities for both girls.
