I have recently finished 'The Silver Bough' by Neil M Gunn and must recommend it to all here.

My third Gunn book and i've been absolutely entranced by each one, but this is my favourite so far. (Im going to have to read them all)

His communication is so rarefied it feels almost peverse.
I've only ever read one other author in the same league, imo, and thats John Cowper Powys.

I cannot recommend this book highly enough.

That's the first mention of JCP I have come across in a very long time .


Thanks for the link Tiompan. Have you read Wolf Solent by JCP?


Wolf Solent, Weymouth Sands , one of the later shorter novellas but can't remember which one .Still got "In defence of sensuality " . Village books which used to be in Regent street reprinted some of his stuff in the early 70 's as well as as championing quite a few other obscure ,mainly British authors .


I've got Wolf Solent and A Glastonbury Romance. I didn't get on with GR as well as Wolf Solent.
'In defence of sensuality' was one I liked the look of. I also want to read 'autobiography'.
