The complete compilation of Stuart Donald's classic tales which recreate the characters Neil Munro invented in his original works. Accompanied by period plates of West-coast scenes taken at the time of the original tales, there are 60 stories about the motley crew of The Vital Spark.
I swithered about borrowing this book from the library because I feared the worst. However it's a good read and the author does a reasonable job of capturing the style of Neil Munro's tales as well as coming up with very readable stories. In addition after each short tale is a factual piece on what real event or place inspired each tale.
