Product Description

HAM & HIGH
'A great read' --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Review
'This evocative book reveals the inspiration behind the settings for the Rebus books, as well as Rankin's own deeply personal relationship with Scotland. Effortlessly blending Rankin's autobiograpy with Rebus's biography, from the author's rural childhood, through the streets of Edinburgh, to explanations of in-jokes and Rebus's complex make-up, we are lead through a starkly beautiful Scotland unseen by most' (GOOD BOOK GUIDE )

'Evocative text and stunning photographs highlight a Scotland that tourists never see' (TRAVELLER MAGAZINE )

5.0 out of 5 stars More than a Rebus cash in, 22 April 2009
I think I have this on audio CD but the book is even better. Rankin speaks about his own history, from his early life in Cardenden and Bowhill, mining towns in the Kingdom of Fife in Scotland, and how it intersects with Rebus' own history. Rankin speaks about Rebus' attitudes to Scottish society and introduces the darker side of Edinburgh and Scotland witnessed by Rebus through the crimes he deals with. The whole is hauntingly illustrated by the photographers who took the stark black and white pictures that illustrate Rankin's books, pictures of convenience stores, abandoned shipyards, tenments and tower blocks, the less picturesque but no less real unseen Scotland a world away from shortbread tins.
