Men of the Moss-Hags: Being a History of Adventure Taken From the Papers of William Gordon of Earlstoun in Galloway and Told Over Again

x, 370 pp. "The fictional biography of an 'ordinary' hero, William Gordon of Earlstoun is set in the 1670's and 80's, known as 'The Killing Times.' The story is told as a first person retrospective narration - a man in his 50's recounting his youth. Originally serialised, the adventures come thick and fast, barely giving the reader time to draw breath and consequently drawing them into the world of 17th century Galloway with all its colour and conflict."
