Moving to a new home in rural Scotland, Greg delights in his surroundings and in his friendship with a tinker's daughter, Clunie. The final part involves the defeat of two callous landowners who lure falcons to their deaths, although this is the book's least convincing episode. Physical description is direct and vivid, but the presentation of Greg's emotions is less assured; the adult tonc of the narrative is sometimes at odds with Greg's reactions. However, the theme and setting of this accessible story will appeal.
