Additional Product Information
Galt wrote this book in 1826 and despite being a well-known novelist at the time, his manuscript was not published as it was considered to full of "vulgarity and uncleanness." It was then cleaned up and published as a pleasant pastoral Scots romance. This book - a century and half later was the full "uncensored" publication of the original work.
