Product Description

Product Description

Lillian Beckwith's settling in on the island of Bruach and having a croft of her own, is the basis of these comic adventures. Adapting to a totally different way of life provides many excuses for humour and the eccentric cast of characters guarantees there is never a dull moment on Bruach. In one story beachcombing yields a strange find. In another a Christmas party results in a riotous night's celebrations.

About the Author

Lillian Beckwith (Lillian Comber) was born in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire, in 1916. She went to live in the Hebrides before the Second World War and stayed there for nearly twenty years, living first on Elgol, Isle of Skye, and later on the nearby and smaller Isle of Soay. Her hilarious initiation into crofting life is captured in the heart warming book 'The Hills is Lonely'. She acquired her own cottage, and living and working on her own croft gave rise to a series of magical Hebridean books such as 'The Sea For Breakfast'. She retired to the Isle of Man, where she died in 2004.

5.0 out of 5 stars pure escapism, 8 Nov 2002
This review is from: The Sea for Breakfast (Hardcover)
This book is an easy relaxing read. Lillian Beckwith captures the lives of the crofters with wit and humour, while still managing to describe the hardships that these people faced when croft farming still existed in is purest form. The characters make you wish you knew them personally. A book to keep and read over and over. A book to lift your mood
