Wee Gillis lives in Scotland. He is an orphan, and he spends half
of each year with his mother's people in the lowlands, while the
other half finds him in the highlands with his father's kin. Both
sides of Gillis's family are eager for him to settle down and adopt
their ways. In the lowlands, he is taught to herd cattle, learning
how to call them to him in even the heaviest of evening fogs. In
the rocky highlands, he stalks stags from outcrop to outcrop,
holding his breath so as not to make a sound. Wee Gillis is a quick
study, and he soon picks up what his elders can teach him. And yet
he is unprepared when the day comes for him to decide, once and for
all, whether it will be the lowlands or the highlands that he will
call his home. Robert Lawson and Munro Leaf's classic picture book
is a tribute to the powers of the imagination and a triumph of the
storyteller's and illustrator's art.
