Publisher Description
'Gavin Maxwell's trilogy is essential reading' Sunday Herald
Fifty years ago Gavin Maxwell went to live in an abandoned house on a shingle beach on the west coast of Scotland. A haven for wildlife - he named his home Camusfearna and settled there with the otters Mij, Edal and Teko.
Ring of Bright Water chronicles Gavin Maxwell's first ten years with the otters and touched the hearts of readers the world over, brilliantly evoking life with these playful animals in this natural paradise. Two further volumes followed bringing the story full circle telling of the difficult last years and the final abandonment of the settlement.
For the first time the entire trilogy is available in a single narrative in this beautifully presented collection.

An abridged text
Only when I read the introduction to this edition did I find out that the texts of all three volumes have been edited in order to make them appear as a single narrative. This is most severe in the second two volumes, but the editor says that cuts were made to the first too. Buyers should be aware that this is NOT the full text of Ring of Bright Water. It is disappointing that this is unclear in the book’s description, and that the full text is not available.
