Gavin Maxwell – Ring of Bright Water – First UK Edition 1960 – With the rare wrap-around band
£250.00
A first edition, first printing published by Longmans in 1960. A very good book without inscription with some minor spotting to the text block and some pushing to the head and foot of the spine. In a very good price clipped wrapper with some wear to the spine tips and chip to head of the spine. With the rare wrap-around band, with some browning to the spine, promoting the later motion picture featuring Bill Travers and Virginia McKenna. Rare with the band.
Ring of Bright Water is a captivating memoir that chronicles the author’s life with his otters in the remote Scottish Highlands. Through vivid prose and heartfelt storytelling, Maxwell paints a poignant portrait of his deep connection with the natural world and the unique bond he shares with his animal companions, particularly his beloved otter, Mijbil. Set against the stunning backdrop of the rugged Scottish landscape, the book celebrates the beauty of wildlife and the transformative power of love and friendship.
