Àííîòàöèÿ: This is the personal story of Gavin Maxwell's boyhood, most of which he spent, in fact or in fancy, at the House of Elrig, a lonely, windswept house on the moorlands of Galloway. This is the house which, together with the influence of his relations, shaped his interest in living creatures and his love of wild country and wilderness, and led the way to the life he describes in "Ring of Bright Water". It covers his boyhood, public school education in England, and return to Scotland.

Àííîòàöèÿ: In this book Gavin Maxwell combines a description of Camusfearna in the Western Highlands of Scotland with his own biography. The book is full of amusing anecdotes, vivid observations and times of comedy and tragedy: and the miraculous reconcilliation of the author with the two otters, Teko and Edal, providing a fitting climax to the story.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Ring of Bright Water described the pioneering days at Gavin Maxwell s lonely cottage off the West Highland seaboard with otters Mijbil and Teko.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Great are the wonders of modern science and terrible their powers of evil when they fall into the wrong hands. And there could be no worse hands than those of Professor Folcroft Urlich, the brilliant and utterly unscrupulous man of science, from whose hellish laboratory issued the horrible silent death - murder so ingenious, so undetectable, that its victims appeared to have died of natural causes alone.
