Hired Lad: Thomson
Stock No: 43332
ISBN/EAN: 9781841587905, Author: Thomson, Publisher: Birlinn, Format: PB 176pp
Ian Campbell Thomson relives his time as a young farmworker on a Stirlingshire farm after the Second World War. It is a touching coming of age tale as the author makes new friends, and experiences romance while finding his own way in an ever changing world with the passing of age-old country way, as technology begins to replace traditional farming methods. The book is dedicated to Donald and Blossom, the magnificent pair of Clydesdale horses with which he ploughed. Peopled with memorable characters like the hard working "Boss", and the wise Aunt Kit, this is unique tribute full of humour and nostalgia, to a disappearing culture.
