Andy had almost got over the trauma he`d encountered not so long back; so, all he wanted was a more settled life with Lizzie. But surprises lurked in the strangest of places. Soon they, her whole family, and some friends too, were all caught up in perplexing mysteries, nocturnal adventures, dangerous ruins, and long historical shadows. Yes, shadows that threatened so much that had naturally enough been just taken for granted.

Produktbeschreibung
Andy had almost got over the trauma he`d encountered not so long back; so, all he wanted was a more settled life with Lizzie. But surprises lurked in the strangest of places. Soon they, her whole family, and some friends too, were all caught up in perplexing mysteries, nocturnal adventures, dangerous ruins, and long historical shadows. Yes, shadows that threatened so much that had naturally enough been just taken for granted. So, like throwing a stone in the pond, the ripples from this engulfed whole communities, questions about the true legality of land ownership and even a senior politician's integrity. Amongst it all, however, the ancient wisdom about harmony with nature was rediscovered and an icon was miraculously reinstated to celebrate it.

Autorenporträt
Having left school at the age of fourteen, Peter Wright got his first job as a labourer in a chicken hatchery. This was followed by a year of Liberal Studies at Newbattle Abbey College, which he describes as life-changing. A career in youth work followed and he went on to become manager of the Duke of Edinburgh`s Award Unit in the City of Edinburgh Council; a post he held for over twenty years, during which he was awarded MBE. With his mantra of volunteering makes the world go round, Peter has been an exemplar of this throughout his adult life. From this, a diverse range of organisations and programmes, mainly charitable, have been variously founded or developed by him. This has included projects for young people - especially the disadvantaged, in heritage and environmental action. More recently he has been an activist in supporting the provision of education for girls amongst the Maasai People in Kenya. Writing was an accidental outcome of his epic 1,200km walk along the entire Watershed of Scotland when he was in his fifties, and he has been glad to share his experiences with ever-widening audiences. `Clearly, you are having a love affair . . . with the landscapes of Scotland`, was the perceptive comment by one of the editors of his first book, and he is known to be more than happy with this accolade.
