<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>The classic account of otters in the Scottish highlands and the naturalist who cared for them there.</b> <p/>While touring the Iraqi marshes, Gavin Maxwell was captivated by an otter and became a devoted advocate of and spokesman for the species. Maxwell moved to a remote house in the Scottish highlands, co-habiting there with three otters and living an idyllic and isolated life at least for a while. Fate, fame, and fire conspired against this paradise, and it, too, came to an end, though the journey was filled with incident and wonder. <p/>An extraordinarily evocative writer, Maxwell was also talented as an artist. His sinuous line drawings of these amphibious and engaging creatures, and the homes they occupied, illustrate his story. <p/>This volume weaves together the Scottish otter stories from Gavin Maxwell's three non-fiction books, <b><i>Ring of Bright Water</b></i> (1960), <b><i>The Rocks Remain</b></i> (1963), and <b><i>Raven Meet Thy Brother</b></i> (1969). Together they stand as a lasting tribute to a man, his work, and his passion for another species. This is for any reader who loves memoirs, nature, and wildlife.</p>
