Présentation de l'éditeur
Northumberland in vain for the river Skelter; but to me it will always remain the pleasantest of the many streams which rise in the Cheviots and rush headlong into a rich valley whose land, say all true natives, is the finest and most fertile in England. As a child, I knew every pool and eddy of its ten-mile course. I could begin at Harbottle s Mill and describe from memory each green haugh and drooping willow on Simon sfarm, and trace all its windings up to the lonely cottage where lived Simon sbrother, the hill shepherd. There, it is but a slender s Uvery rivulet glancing past high red scaurs, where the sand-martins nest, and anon tumbling over the rocks, or singing above yellow gravel and protruding stones.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book tells the dramatic life story of Adam Harbottle, a prosperous farmer during the Victorian era. The author presents a complex portrait of Adam, exploring themes of ambition, greed, and the enduring power of family bonds through the lens of his fraught relationship with his son, John. At the heart of the narrative is the ethical conflict that arises when Adam's ruthless pursuit of wealth and status clashes with John's moral compass and desire for a simpler life. The author sets this personal struggle against the backdrop of the changing social and economic landscape of the time, providing insights into the tensions between tradition and modernity. Through the Harbottles' gripping saga, this book offers a profound meditation on the human condition, the sacrifices we make for our dreams, and the often-hidden costs of ambition. Its exploration of family dynamics and the legacy of past actions makes it a timeless and thought-provoking read.
