A SON OF SCOTLAND

by R. H. Bruce Lockhart ‧ RELEASE DATE: Jan. 17, 1937

Lockhart has turned back the leaves to his own boyhood and youth in Scotland, and given us the groundwork for the checkered career that has been his. One sees him as a school boy, with all of life centering around Rugby football, and class-work running amook in competition. One sees him enjoying to the full holidays in his beloved Highlands, his mother's old home, fishing and tramping. One gets glimpses of his family life, against the background of successive schools where his father was head-master. The book is chronological in arrangement, and reads as the early chapters of an autobiography, delightful, human, personal -- in so far as it goes, but not as intimate and lacking in reticence as the books dealing with his years of diplomacy. A definite part of a complete picture, and a book all Lockhart enthusiasts will like.
