Eileen Dunlop Knihy

Robert Louis Stevenson loved to conjure up a dashing, romantic lineage for himself, dreaming that he was descended from the colourful outlaw Rob Roy MacGregor. This work gives a concise account of his life - his family background, childhood and adolescence in a Calvinist, hard-working household in Scotland, and his final years in the South Seas.

A Scottie activity book, for home or classroom use, with sections on: Ghosts and Graveyards; Haunted Houses; Witches; Hallowe'en; Fairies; Glaistigs and Brownies; and Merfolk.

Walter Scott's novels and poems reveal his view of history and the influences that made him, especially the stories of his native Borders and the exploits of his ancestors. Eileen Dunlop looks afresh at Scott the writer, and Scott the man.

From a rich and crowded field, Eileen Dunlop has made a selection of writers whose books have stood the test of time, illustrating their diverse life stories and the range of their work, and emphasising their courage in transcending the prejudices of those who sought to silence them.

Scotties are full-colour, Scottish information books for young readers, aged 10-12. Each title contains facts, activities and suggestions for places to visit. This edition provides an answer to the question: What is a saint?

Every Scots child was taught a pallid and uncontentious version of Queen Margaret's life, drawn from the hagiography written not long after her death. Eileen Dunlop has produced a book for the general reader, which aims at a more balanced, psychologically probing account of a remarkable life.
