Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Horace in Homespun: A Series of Scottish Pastorals Hugh or, as he is familiarly called, Hughie Haliburton, the Author of the Sketches of Scottish Life and Character among the Ochils contained in the present collection, has at least the merit of writing upon a subject which he knows personally, and in which he is directly interested. He lives among the people whom he describes - wears their dress, speaks their language, shares their joys and sorrows. He is, in short, one of themselves. He counts himself, and is counted, no better than his neighbours - except only that he is allowed to lay special claim to a gift of graphic expression, which on occasion takes a metrical form. His Pastorals reveal all about himself that he cares to make known. They represent him as a veritable shepherd living in healthy solitude with social instincts. His housekeeper on the hillside is a "single" sister - for Hughie is a bachelor. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
