Glasgow Zen Reviews

One of Scotland's most accomplished literary talents. * * Times Literary Supplement * *
Spence takes a little moment of ordinary experience and transforms it, in the simplest possible manner, into something significant . . . He is a gentle writer, but never sentimental. The beautiful moments have always been earned. He is a writer to cherish, one offering deep and fulfilling pleasures. -- Allan Massie * * The Scotsman * *
Memorable poignancy and poetic compression. * * Sunday Times * *
The 150 pieces in this exquisite collection take the reader through the unfolding beauty of the passing seasons, their fleeting delights presented in a pleasing pocket-size format. * * Scotland on Sunday * *
