Wild Geese : A Collection of Nan Shepherd's Writings

Wild Geese: A Collection of Nan Shepherd's Writing, edited by Charlotte Peacock, gathers previously unpublished and hard-to-find material by Scottish writer Nan Shepherd (1893-1981), author of the landscape-writing classic The Living Mountain.

It includes a short story, a selection of poems, and nature writing that had previously appeared only in local magazines and journals, with several poems appearing here for the first time, uncovered during Peacock's research for her Shepherd biography.

The collection reveals early seeds of the ideas and voice that would later flower into The Living Mountain, making it a valuable companion to Shepherd's published novels and poetry for readers interested in her development as a writer.
