Product Description
Book Description
Neil Gunn described this book as the "simple record of a holiday in a boat" but it is much more than that. This voyage marks the significant turning point in the career of one of Scotland's most distinguished twentieth-century authors, the point at which he made his decision to become a full-time writer. He resigned his post in the Civil Service, sold his house, bought a boat and set off. The voyage was undertaken in the 1930s, through the islands of the Inner Hebrides, and it is a voyage of discovery - of the elemental power of the sea, of the beauty of the islands and of the traditions and legends of those who live in them, and of the Celtic and Norse civilisations that left their marks.

Synopsis
Gunn's classic account of his 1930s voyage in the Hebrides. It seeks to capture the romance and exhilaration of a trip in a small boat, and Gunn's observation of sea and landscape is interwoven with understanding of Norse and Celtic culture.

5.0 out of 5 stars A gentle but compelling read, 25 Nov 2003
Neil Gunn had an enchanting writing style which I find impossible to describe accurately: seemingly wide-eyed and innocent, but actually discerning and well informed. His books tend to be beautifully crafted, and Off in a Boat is no exception. It's
