This omnibus gathers A Croft in the Hills together with some of Katharine's later books.

Month by month we are taken through a year in the life of Katharine Stewart's garden. The circle of the seasons is luminously evoked as we are told of the practicalities of gardening, cooking, bee-keeping and wine-making. Peppered with warm, personal insights, good humour and a love of living things, nature has never sounded so rewarding.

A new edition of Stewart's memoir of Highland living, which has been in print since the 1970s.

Katherine Stewart examines the ways of life of Highland women through the spoken, sung and written histories they have left behind.

Infused by the author's own experiences of small holding at the end of the crofting era, this book offers an excellent insight into the social history and colourful customs assosiated with tending cattle.
