註釋"The story begins in 1039, when Charlie Allan is born to journalist John R. Allan and Jean Mackie. After a difficult period under the care of the ferocious Miss Dread (both parents having been seconded to the war effort), he escaped to much more congenial surroundings at the home of his grandfather, the pioneering farmer Dr Maitland Mackie. It was here, in this rather eccentric household, that he was introduced to a way of life that has occupied him to some degree ever since." "Based around reminiscences of his childhood years, Charlie Allan paints an affectionate and humorous portrait of rural life and the way it has changed in the North-east of Scotland over the six generations his family has farmed Little Ardo of Methlick. It is the story of a medium-sized farm which sits on the southern boundary of Buchan, from where it looks longingly across the River Ythan to the fat lands of Formartine."--BOOK JACKET.
