I purchased this book on a recent trip to Scotland. I had been specifically looking for childhood memoirs by Scottish writers and I couldn't have found a better one! This book is heartwarming, funny, moving and delightfully written. Books like this make one glad to be alive! Jess Smith's book, is full of joy!

She grabs you on page one and never lets go...This is a warts-and- all book of Jessies life. You will laugh out loud. Very entertaining. I felt as though, she was sitting round my fireplace and talking on a one to one. Recalling her magical childhood, brimming with laughter, love and oh aye adventure! Such richness indeed that comes from having the freedom to roam and to weave a tapestry of life..
Would recommend this book to one and all.

The best thing I can say about this book is, when I had finished it, I felt as if a good friend had left me.
An important book from a Scottish historical point of view, but also as a way to understanding a misjudged lifestyle.
A five star rating does not do this book justice.

A magical dream
This was such a delightful book. Many of my favourite places were mentioned. Tales of life on the bus were told with the delight of a child. I was so sad at the end. Read more
