Flounders for Tea: Recollections of a Galloway childhood 1934-1945

Description

In 1934 Marion’s father got a job as butler at Cardoness House in Galloway which provided his family with a tied cottage. The circumstances enabled Marion to enjoy an idyllic childhood during which she explored the surrounding area with a freedom that would probably never be allowed today. This vivid account of the landscape, the people, the way of life, the flowers, the trees and the beaches turns her childhood memories into a fascinating record of a different world.
