Lad in a Kilt

Although it doesn't answer the age old question of what is worn under the kilt (after all, it IS for children!) this delightful book covers every other aspect of male Scottish attire as it watches young Iain getting ready to go to a birthday party. Fully illustrated, it describes each item of clothing a kilty wears, plus giving color representations of three clan tartans & a swatch of real Scottish wool in Iain's Wallace tartan. With a touch of history & geography thrown in for free, author Deborah Cummings uses the second half of the book to let her readers have fun with what they have read. She provides puzzles, games & poems to draw children one step further into the fascinating Scottish world. Declared a winner by the Memphis Scottish Society Newsletter, GRACE NOTES goes on to say this book "should succeed admirably" in its purpose of drawing children into the wonderfully rich culture of Scotland. Author Deborah Cummings is a first generation Scot who plays the bagpipes, does Highland & Scottish country dancing, tartan weaving, & has written numerous articles about Scottish events, people & culture.
