This new edition of An Apple from a Tree, with additional stories
previously published elsewhere, provides the reader with the
opportunity to revisit some of Margaret Elphinstone's early
writing. Themes and motifs which have come to characterise much of
her subsequent work are already evident. Her writing resonates with
a deep and underlying concern with the way we understand and relate
to our environment while at the same time it is always ready to
challenge conventional perceptions of myth and reality. By
restructuring paradigms and demonstrating the impermanence of
accepted boundaries she offers insights which can be both
surprising and disturbing. Her characters are frequently from
elsewhere - whether the realms of folklore or far places and
different cultures - and display the stranger's ability to make
unexpected assumptions or ask uncomfortable questions. .,."spicy,
ironic, passionate, humorous, painful and witty.." Jennie Renton,
Scottish Book Collector
