Stayed with me all these years!
9 Mar 2001
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I read this book nearly 30 years ago, back in elementary school. This was one that I would check out from our public library at least once a year. I no longer recall details of the storyline, but I do remember that this book totally involved me in a way that just a few had. I've looked for a copy of the book off and on for some time. I'm excited to now be able to share with my own kids.

Childhood wonderment
20 Dec 2006
Format:Mass Market Paperback
In 1987 my primary/elementary school teacher made time each week to sit our class down and read us a chapter from a book of his choosing. I remember racing to get the big fluffy cushions and sitting and waiting intently for Mr MacNish to read us the next instalment.
That year "The Bodach" (or the walking stones as it is now called) was the book of his choice. I was enthralled by the story and it stayed with me well into my adult life, the concept of the second sight, the washer at the ford and the ability to cast a projection of yourself.
It has been nearly 20 years now, but I still have a copy of that book in my collection and periodically I pull it out to have a read and a remember of one of my few good School memories.

Cast a spell that lasted decades
24 Mar 2009
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I accidentally stumbled onto this book; browsing through it I saw the name of one chapter was "The Three Rories" - my youngest son's name. Had to buy it! Reading this book aloud became a treasured family ritual. My middle child took this book to college - it had made that deep an impression. Reverence for the "old ways" and the despair we feel as these world-views are gobbled up or eradicated by the encroaching modern perspective - hope for their survival is given a real shot in the arm here. A more magical view of things, Nature and life in general, is beautifully expressed in this unusual book.
