Incredible,
This review is from: Six Lives of Fankle the Cat (Kelpies) (Paperback)
I read this book to my 7-year-old. She enjoyed the story immensely - almost as much as me. There isn't much of a plot that makes sense but the events are so richly described and the characters so interesting that it doesn't much matter. Make sure you have a dictionary at hand when you read this - the author has a very wide vocabulary and he likes to use it!
I can't wait to get more books from George Mackay Brown.
