UK price: £6.99    US price: $11.99 Publisher: DIADEM BOOKS Format: Paperback Size : 22.9 x 15.2 x 0.7 cm Pages: 118 ISBN: 978-1907294372 Published: Feb-2010

About the book: This book is the tale of a son and a daughter of two villages in the Kingdom of Fife, in Scotland.  Their similarities in background in coal-mining East Fife, and their decidedly different outlooks on life grounded on quite different life-styles, are confronted in the light of our national divided society over the past three hundred years since the time of Alexander Selkirk and Robinson Crusoe. Love thrived on conflicts of mind and ideologies. The book is an inspirational tonic.
