First Edition
Original Green Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good Plus. First Edition. 1993. [vii], 150pp. B&W photos. "Margaret Fay Shaw's life spans a century of change. Leaving home and school in Pennsylvania and Philadelphia aged 16, she crossed to Scotland to spend a year at school near Glasgow. It was there that her love for Scotland was born. After studying music in New York and Paris she returned to live for six years with two sisters in South Uist. Life on the island had changed little from previous centuries, and material comforts were few. But the island was rich in music and tradition, and Margaret Fay Shaw's collections of Gaelic lore and song are amongst the most important made this century, whilst her photography evocatively captures the aura of a vanished world.". Sunning to the spine of the jacket. Otherwise the book and unclipped dust jacket are both in excellent condition with no inscriptions.

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Hardcover in green cloth with gilt titles to spine in Fine condition, dustwrapper with some very slight shelfwear and slight fading to spine but otherwise in Near Fine condition. First edition, pp 150, b&w illustrations. Margaret Fay Shaw's life spans a century of change. In her early teens she was dispatched from the idyllic surroundings of the Alleghenies to stay with a distant cousin near Glasgow. It was here that her love of Scotland was born. After studying music at New York and Paris, she returned to live for six years with two sisters in a cottage on South Uist. Life on South Uist at this time had barely changed from earlier centuries, and the island contained a repository of Gaelic lore and song. Margaret Fay Shaw's collections of this archive and her photography capture a world vanished from the Hebrides. Her autobiography is also a plea in defence of a Gaelic culture and world that is disappearing.
