Kenneth McAlpine: A Tale of Mountain, Moorland and Sea
Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England
"Kenneth McAlpine: A Tale of Mountain, Moorland and Sea" by Gordon Stables is a novel written in the late 19th century. This story follows the adventures of Kenneth McAlpine, a young shepherd boy in the Scottish Highlands, as he navigates friendship, nature, and the challenges faced in his pastoral life. Set against a backdrop of picturesque landscapes, the narrative captures the essence of childhood curiosity and resilience against the trials of growing up. The opening of the novel introduces us to the Scottish Highlands, where we meet Kenneth, a shepherd boy who recently faced the loss of a lamb, reflecting on life and death in the natural world around him. Alongside his loyal dog Kooran, Kenneth displays a fondness for exploration and adventure, from building a heather couch to uncovering a hidden cave within a fairy knoll. As he muses on the beauty surrounding him, he reveals a yearning for connection to both nature and a sense of wonder, while also interacting with the local folklore through his playful imagination, setting the stage for the enchanting adventures that lay ahead. The stage is set for a tale rich with camaraderie, discovery, and the poignant reminders of life's transient moments. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
