Synopses & Reviews
Anna Blair's second gathering up, after
Tea at Miss Cranston's, of the reminiscences of elderly Glasgow people demonstrates the richness and variety of Glasgow life. Recollections are linked by subject matter, with narrative by the author. Twenty-eight pen-and-ink drawings add character to the text. The social historian and those simply seeking will find much food for thought.
