Book Description
Written by Scottish novelist Samuel Rutherford Crockett, The Lilac Sunbonnet is a classic love story with delightful characters.The author describes gracefully the moors and the meadowlands, along with how the characters are affected by their surroundings. This is a story that shows excellently the people who might have lived in Scotland during this politically and spiritually exciting time. Excerpt from the Lilac Sunbonnet "Then she gathered up the books very gently, and taking a kerchief from her neck, she folded the two great books within it, fastening them with a cunning knot. She was carrying them slowly up towards the farm town of Craig Ronald in her bare arms when Ralph Peden sat answering his catechism in the study at the manse. She entered the dreaming courtyard, and walked sedately across its silent sun- flooded spaces without a sound. She passed the door of the cool parlour where her grandfather and grandmother sat, the latter with her hands folded and her great tortoiseshell spectacles on her nose, taking her afternoon nap."
