“Re-read them some of these sleepless nights and forgot my worries in the old charm. What delightful books they are! What a good taste they leave in your mouth! You feel after all that there are some decent people in the world — that folks are not all Elmer Gantrys … These tales of Scottish rural life have oddly the same flavor as the Cavendish of my childhood … As I read one book, I went back — back — back to a world where there were no Reds or war debts or Hitlers.”
