Original Blue Cloth Boards. Condition: Very Good Plus. First Edition. 1960. xxxii, 212pp. "No one in the whole history of Gaelic writing has put more words to paper and no one has written consistently better Gaelic prose than Donald Lamont. The late Professor W. J. Watson of the Chair of Celtic at Edinburgh University of described Lamont's writing as "the canon of contemprary Gaelic prose". This book provides a selection of his best and most characteristic writing. Perhaps Dr Lamont's best work is to be found in his sketches of the fictitious parish of "Cille-Sgumain". Apparent in these essays is the profound thought, imaginative power, vigorous writing and idiomatic Gaelic which has for many years delighted countless readers. The book contains a long introduction in which the history of Gaelic prose is surveyed and Donald Lamont's position therein analysed and assesed. An extensive vocabulary and glossaries of persons and places complete the book.".
