For this, one of a series of illustrated volumes, first published in 1907, Neil Munro (1863-1930) was surely the ideal choice of author with his versatility as historical novelist and journalist.

Produktbeschreibung
For this, one of a series of illustrated volumes, first published in 1907, Neil Munro (1863-1930) was surely the ideal choice of author with his versatility as historical novelist and journalist. Born and bred in Inveraray, he spent years on the Glasgow Evening News, contributing two well-loved columns that envious colleagues would describe as having "the Munro touch". Para Handy made his first casual appearance in those pages. This book is a rich storehouse of facts geographical and historical, but it too shows "the Munro touch". We feel his joie de vivre and his innate love of his own corner of the world as he accompanies us from the river's source at Little Clyde Farm, past the orchards near Lanark, the shipyards of Glasgow, down to the Firth itself in its "doon the watter" heyday, ending with chapters on Loch Fyne and the islands. With sixty-seven black-and-white illustrations.
Autorenporträt
Neil Munro, a famous Scottish writer and journalist, wrote the engrossing story "Gilian the Dreamer: His Fancy, His Love, and Adventure." Munro, known for his colorful storytelling and insightful observations of Scottish culture, provides readers with a fully imagined novel that combines aspects of romance, adventure, and introspection. In "Gilian the Dreamer," Munro introduces readers to the title character, Gilian, a young man with a vivid imagination and a desire for adventure. As Gilian travels through Scotland's rocky landscapes, he becomes involved in a series of romantic entanglements and perilous adventures that test his resolve and challenge his perceptions of reality. Munro's work is laced with lyrical beauty and evocative descriptions of the Scottish countryside, transporting readers to a world where dreams and reality meet. Munro uses Gilian's experiences to explore themes of love, longing, and the transformational power of the imagination. As Gilian sets off on a journey of self-discovery, Munro challenges readers to consider the nature of dreams and the pursuit of passion in the face of adversity. With its vibrant characters, wide settings, and timeless themes, "Gilian the Dreamer" exemplifies Munro's literary prowess and lasting legacy in Scottish literature.
