A tourist's view of Hebridean Island-life is a cottage in the Highlands and a cow for milk. For Lillian Beckwith, it's storm-force winds, lashing hail and stinging rain. Or evenings of summer calm and molten sunsets. Not forgetting the company of cantankerous cows and election fever which sweeps through the island when one of the candidates brings a loudspeaker van to the island -- known as the loud halo to the islanders... “Once again we find the descriptive powers, wit, and touches of realism that made Miss Beckwith’s previous books so delightful.” -- CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR Filled with the same sort of happy spirits, eccentric characters, and amusing anecdotes which distinguished its predecessors, The Loud Halo brings to a humorous and spirited conclusion a wonderful trio of narratives. Originally published in 1964. Used Book in Good Condition
