The finest book ever written on nature and landscape in Britain: said a newspaper of this when it was first published. The manuscript was completed in 1944, Nan Shepherd showed it to a friend, who thought it would be tough to find a publisher.
Shepherd recevied one rejection and then left the MS in a drawer. In 1977, Aberdeen University Press printed a small edition. Later, Robert Macfarlane was introduced to it and wrote: "I read it, and was changed" in his first-rate introduction. You will be, too.

It took me ages to read because it took me ages to slow down enough to absorb it. I have walked a tiny portion of the land she describes and every time I read it I felt sad I wasn’t back there. It’s so much denser and deeper than the size of it prepares you for. It’s a book I intend to buy and give to as many friends as I can.
