Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Jacket and illustrations by Ralph Steadman (illustrator). 1st Edition. First edition, first impression with full number line. Some edge wear to top and bottom of fabulous jacket of a bemused red nosed stag, and spine, corners very slightly bruised, spine very slightly faded, not price clipped but price scribbled over but still visible (£16.99), Heal's sticker to bottom front flap, some slight yellowing to back jacket and part of a glass ring (whisky?), internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy. 160pp, lavishly illustrated. Asked to create a series of illustrations on whisky and its ways, artist and cartoonist Ralph Steadman embraced the subject with enthusiasm. Enthralled by an industry steeped in rich folklore and mysterious tales as dark as peat, and by the magical liquid that it produces, he embarked on the whisky trail. Travelling the length and breadth of Scotland and its islands he visited distilleries and explored the landscapes on which their whisky depends. He talked to the characters behind them, to the workers and distillers whose nose for the nuances of every inhalation brings them 'as near as a human being can get to emulating the homing instinct of a salmon swimming up river to breed'. Within the pages of this book, informed and irreverent at the same time, the reader can discover the essence of the truly great whiskies and also less familiar pleasures in the unexpected finds Steadman makes along the way. Essential to all whisky lovers.

When published in 1919, it was an immediate success, and several of her other stories (including this) were published in 1920. A romantic tale of Beatrice Langton and her lover Laurence Cathcart. In 1920 she married James Devlin and settled in Norfolk, at one time running the King's Arms Hotel in Reepham.
