Originally published in 1936 and authored by an ardent Scottish
Nationalist and convert to Roman Catholicism, this concise book
begins in the Gaelic era and charts the turbulent history of
Catholicism in Scotland from then to the early 20th Century through
the Norman Conquest of England and the coming of Saint Margaret.

national consciousness is emphasized and an outspoken account of
the origins of John Knox’s Presbyterian movement given. The book
also discusses the persecution of Catholic missionaries in the 17th
and 18th centuries.

It's 1943 and the war has brought rationing to the Hebridean
islands of Great and Little Todday. When food is in short supply,
it is bad enough, but when the whisky runs out, it looks like the
end of the world. Morale is at rock bottom. George Campbell needs a
wee dram to give him the courage to stand up to is mother and marry
Catriona. The priest, the doctor and, of course, the landlord at
the inn are all having a very thin time of it. There's no
conversation, no jollity, no fun - until a shipwreck off the coast
brings a piece of extraordinary good fortune ...
First Published in 2005. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &

Jenny Pearl, a dancer, falls in love with Maurice Avery, a young
dilettante who leaves her when she refuses to become his mistress.
Despairingly, she falls into a loveless marriage with Trewhella, a
Cornish farmer who becomes insanely jealous when Avery reappears on
the scene... Vivid, moving and ultimately tragic, CARNIVAL was
first published in 1912 to wide critical acclaim, helping to
establish Mackenzie as one of the foremost British novelists of his
generation. It has since been filmed three times and adapted for
the stage and as an opera.
