Synopsis
The first of Lavinia Derwent's enchanting Border Air books
Lavinia Derwent admits she was a bad bairn - though it was often her good deeds, such as inviting the pigs into the garden to smell the flowers, that led to her downfall. She kept her eyes and ears open and has now written an enlightening account of that far-off childhood, bringing marvellously to life not only Jessie but many other country characters: Jock-the-herd, the postie, Bella Confectionery who kept the sweetie-shop, and Auld Baldie-Heid, the schoolmaster.
