Synopsis
ON A CLYDE PUFFER
Get ready for charm and whimsy with the sweetness and bite of twenty-year-old single malt Scotch.
There's a new cook named Sunny Jim on the steamer The Vital Spark in this collection of droll tales of the Scots characters.
This is a ship full of wonderful characters. The Vital Spark is a Clyde Puffer carrying goods from Glasgow to the dreamy lochs and misty hills of the Highlands. Captained by Peter Macfarlaine -- nicknamed Para Handy -- the smertest boat in the tred is peopled by the likes of pompous engineer Dan Macphail, superstitious Dougie the ship's-mate and The Tar -- and featuring visits by Hurricane Jack and other odd folk.
Puff along with Para Handy and company through tales like Christmas on the Vital Spark, Para Handy's Pup, and A Vegetarian Experiment (with a remarkable recipe for stone soup) in this collection of delightful Scottish tales.
