Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Right Stuff I consider it my duty, as author of this volume, to buttonhole the reader on the threshold of the story, and caution him. This done, he goes inside under no illusions and at his own risk. The Right Stuff was originally written for English and Scottish readers, the author (an individual of a retiring and unsanguine disposition) never having considered the possibility of his work falling into the hands of a larger and less parochial public. Under these circumstances American readers are warned that: - 1. The hero is a Scotsman, and he and his relatives occasionally revert to a dialect and idiom which, despite the advent of Mr. Harry Lauder, is not yet so universally prevalent on these shores as it doubtless deserves (and expects) to be. 2. Many of the incidents are of a particularly local and British character. They depict the habits and customs of the average upper-class Briton in a fashion which characteristically takes for granted the rather large proposition that the rest of the civilised world handles such things as electioneering and game-shooting in precisely the same manner as John Bull.
