Para Handy has been sailing his way into the affections of
generations of Scots since he first weighed anchor in the pages of
the Glasgow Evening News in 1905. The master mariner and his crew -
Dougie the mate, Macphail the engineer, Sunny Jim and the Tar - all
play their part in evoking the irresistible atmosphere of a bygone
age when puffers sailed between West Highland ports and the great
city of Glasgow. This definitive edition contains all three
collections published in the author's lifetime, as well as those
that were unpublished and a new story which was discovered in 2001.
Extensive notes accompany each story, providing fascinating
insights into colloquialisms, place-names and historical events.
This volume also includes a wealth of contemporary photographs,
depicting the harbours, steamers and puffers from the age of the
Vital Spark.
