The Ratscape Chronicles - Revised Edition
An unusual autobiography - funny and sad at the same time. A page turner too!
'Twisting my hand around, I struck like a snake and grabbed! I wish I hadn't. Oh, I wish I hadn't! My hand instantly became an agonised thing of white, blistering fire.'
A social maverick takes to the rural paradise of Shetland and hilarity ensues. Charismatic Jim Clarke and his beloved little rosebud escape an urban hell and settle on a remote croft. Cue for enchanting landscapes, truly amazing people and a cast of animals with which no actor wanting to stay in work should perform!
Revised edition with additional material and copiously illustrated with the author's own pictures and illuminating poetry set within prose that will take your breath away with laughter, this comi-tragic tale of a doomed attempt to escape the rat-race is a magical experience. Its bitter and poetic beginning gives way to a land of rolling hills and wild winds where men are men and women are, well, as big as the men!
Revised version, more pictures, more poems, more fun!
