Book description
With an introduction by Andrew Marr. 'If you are interested in books
that are human and wise, then treat yourself this year to some Robin
Jenkins.' Andrew Marr Thirteen-year-old Tom Curdie, the product of a
Glasgow slum, is on probation for theft. His teachers admit that he is
clever, but only one, Charles Forbes, sees an uncanny warmth in his
reticence and in his seemingly insolent smile. So he decides to take Tom
on holiday with his own family... On first publication in 1958, The
Changeling confirmed the reputation of an author who had long been
regarded by his peers as a major force in British writing, and it is now
held up as a classic of British literature. 'One of the best, most
completely realised of Jenkins' novels.' Alan Spence 'Quite simply a
major writer.' Herald 'A delight to read.' Times Literary Supplement
