“Lavinia Derwent takes us back to the magical world of a childhood spent on the isolated Border Country farm that was first so memorably captured in her bestselling A Breath of Border Air.  Now, surrounded by colourful and often hilarious local characters, like Jock-the-herd, Auld Baldy-Heid and her old friend Jessie, Lavinia experiences the thrilling moments of growing up – her graduation to the Big School, her first visit to Edinburgh and the excitement of crossing the Border for a seaside holiday in England.”
