I absolutely love this!!! I have so much nostalgia for The Broons. Reading them and Oor Willie in The Sunday Post after dinner and my homework! The cover is wonderful, and it features the entire Broon clan. The little individual stories are fun. They're very funny, and I had lots of laugh-out-loud moments. It follows a year in the life of the family. The artwork insight is basic black and white, and it works! The drawings are gorgeous, and the attention to detail is fantastic. The Broons live at 10 Glebe Street in a fictional town called Auchentogle! They also have the odd visit to their wee holiday cottage, the But and Ben! The characters are brilliant, and they just make this! We have Maw & Paw, their eight children, Hen, Joe, Maggie, Daphne, Horace, The Twins & Bairn and Paw's dad, Granpaw. I love what the family gets up to. Also, we get the odd wee cameo from Oor Wullie, which I love! I definitely recommend it, but the Scottish words and how they speak will probably be tricky for anyone outside Scotland!!
