Description:
House of Lochar, 1997. Soft cover. Very Good/No Jacket. 5.5" X 8.5. P/B 216 pages, condition is very good. A young Canadian girl returns to the Hebridean island from which her ancestors were forced to emigrate and suddenly finds herself swept into the past of those very ancestors. She re-lives the harsh realities of nineteenth-century Uist life and the merciless evictions from the township in 1851 - the black houses are burned over the heads of the people and they must carry her dying mother and their few possessions to shelter in a cave above the ruins. So real is the past that her very identity is threatened. Is she the Gaelic speaking Catriona who embarked so reluctantly on the emigrant ship or is she the research student Kat MacDohald recovering from a broken love affair? Where does her destiny lie?

Description:
London, UK: Hamish Hamilton, 1977. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. h/b 364 pages, condition is very good, minor edge wear to the DJ. To the great castle of Glendraco, one day in 1860, came Kirstie Drummond - slim, with dark red hair, nearly eighteen years old. The means of her arrival were unorthodox, not to say shocking. She ran away from her grand-parents' dour Edinburgh house, and from the clammy hand of the doctor to whom she had been promised in marriage. She was literally picked up in his gig by the very handsome Lord Cricklade. She was delivered to the aged Countess of Draco - 'the Dragon' to half Scotland - who seemed almost to adopt her. The effect of Kirstie's face, in the wild and remote glen of the Draco, was extraordinary. Many men fell in love with her beauty and vivacity. Others reacted violently to her uncanny likeness to her long-dead Drummond grand-father, about whom there was a shameful mystery. And there lay great danger for Kirstie. She met hatred as well as love…

UK: Legend, 1996. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 6.25" x 9.5. h/b 452 pages, condition is very good, slight tanning to the edges of the pages. Set during an alternate Dark Ages that never was, The Hammer and the Cross is the gripping saga of Shef, the One King, a visionary and warrior whose accomplishments have changed the course of history.

Unable to defend his fleet against this awesome weapon, Shef travels to the East in search of new wisdom, his quest leading him to the lavish court of the Moslem Caliph and,…

Description:
Guaranteed, 2008. Soft cover. Very Good. 262pp. flyleaf has been removed. Signed on title page.Author's Note This is Book 3 in the 'Adventure' series, written as an offshoot from Book 2. This novel however, uses a different style of writing in that the book is split into two different halves in an attempt to unite the saga from Book 2, bringing back into play and continuing the story about the main character of the series, John Grey from Book 1. In effect, the second half will restart the adventures of this character so the series may continue on its natural course to the end. In the meanwhile, you will read about a cunning and ruthless man who will hopefully epitomise the dangerous underhand dealings of a certain German WW2 organisation that functioned in the ranks of the Nazi regime, which even the German's dreaded and feared their presence. That organisation was none other than the most dreaded outfit, and I refer to the shortened and the more familiar name as regiven to the…

Description:
UK: Gordon Wright Publishing, 1998. Soft cover. Very Good/No Jacket. 5.5" X 8.5. Oakeshott, Ewart. Barbour's 'The Brus' is a true epic - the story in verse of Scotland's great national hero. Tom Scott had adapted the poem into simple idiomatic English suitable for reading from the age of about ten upwards. It is a free 'translation' adding historical detail and 'pointing up' Barbour in such ways, imaginary and factual, as are necessary for the modern reader, always aiming at clarity of picture and narrative. The Bruce story is one of the world's greatest romances and all children everywhere (and many adults!) should find it enthralling and exciting. It is as universal as 'Ulysses' or 'El Cid'.
