Coco is Crubagan (Cocoa and Crabs:) A Hebridean Childhood by Flora Macdonald
An evocative and memorable account, in Gaelic and English, of author Flora Macdonald’s idyllic childhood memories of growing up in a remote and long-deserted part of eastern Benbecula in the 1940s and ’50s. Crofting tasks are described in detail, but we also have lyrical accounts of discoveries that delight a child. Gaelic speakers, learners and school pupils will find it highly enjoyable and educational.
Includes a map, photographs, drawings, and two CDs of Flora reading her story in Gaelic. Published by the Islands Book Trust.
