24 already!! Well, I want to toss my name in the hat as well. A portion of your hint convinced me:
"...evocative of William Trevor and Bruce Chatwin..."

On one of these Buy A Friend A Book weeks, I should send you one - haven't time to think about it right now, am supposed to be packing (I always save this til the very last minute!!).

m

I can't guess ... but I love William Trevor, so please include me - happy new year and thanks!

BTW, I know I've seen that double "f" logo before, but can't remember where. What is it?

mona lee

I really enjoy your blog---the
photos, etc. thanks for doing it.
I just gave my daughter in law
the Art of Domesticity which I learned about through your blog.
I'm from Arkansas and I ordered
it through your blog--and Amazon
U.k. I've never been to Scotland,
but your pictures are building in
me a desire to visit!

Nothing like the possibility of a book evocative of Chatwin to convince a lurker to emerge... please add my name to the drawing.

Mummy, I think you should give the classic of Belgian symbolism instead.

I stumbled upon your blog by chance. Good for me!

please could I enter too - intrigued about the book perhaps Penelope Fitzgerald? I also read your blog most days and enjoy it and many links enormously

This is such fun. Can I recommend a book while I am here? "How Can We Keep From Singing" by Joan Oliver Goldsmith. Even if you don't care to sing, reading a book by someone who is so enthusiastic is still something of a treat.
