Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Red Scaur: A Novel of Manners I am afraid you will search the map of Northumberland in vain for the river Skelter; but to me it will always remain the pleasantest of the many streams which rise in the Cheviots and rush headlong into a rich valley whose land, say all true natives, is the finest and most fertile in England. As a child, I knew every pool and eddy of its ten-mile course. I could begin at Harbottle´s Mill and describe from memory each green haugh and drooping willow on Simon´s farm, and trace all its windings up to the lonely cottage where lived Simon´s brother, the hill shepherd. There, it is but a slender silvery rivulet glancing past high red scaurs, where the sand-martins nest, and anon tumbling over the rocks, or singing above yellow gravel and protruding stones.
