Curios Scotland: Tales From A Hidden History
By George Rosie
Granta Books 244pp £14.99 order from our bookshop
GEORGE ROSE IS one of Scotland’s most versatile and talented men of letters. He has written plays and at least one good novel, and been a journalist (on the Sunday Times) and a documentary film-maker. He has, like Kipling’s Elephant’s Child, a ‘satiable curiosity. This book of essays and squibs displays to good effect his ability to come at unexpected subjects from surprising angles.
