Ring of Bright Water by Gavin Maxwell
In 1957, after travelling in southern Iraq, Gavin Maxwell returned to the West Highlands of Scotland with an otter cub called Mijbil. Written within thew sound of the sea, in a remote cottage where they set up home together, this enduring story evokes the unspoilt seascape and wildlife of a place Maxwell called Camusfearna. Ring of Bright Water was hailed as a masterpiece when it was first published, sold over two million copies worldwide, and was later adapted into a successful film. Fifty years on it remains one of the most lyrical, moving descriptions of a man's relationship with the natural world. Our new edition is unabridged and includes all the illustrations from the first edition.Gavin Maxwell was up in a small community in southwestern Scotland, where he developed an interest in nature. When he was an adult, he went on a tour of the reed marshes of Southern Iraq, he kept his passion for exploration alive. He captured an otter there and returned it to his isolated Scottish house of Sandaig. The otter was the topic of his most well-known novel, Ring of Brilliant Water, which went on to sell over a million copies.
