MacLeod, Mary J.,

Nurse, come you here! : more true stories of a country nurse on a Scottish Isle / Mary J. MacLeod. - First North American edition. - xi, 302 pages ; 22 cm.

BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY: SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING. Mary J. Macleod and her husband left the London area for an idyllic place to raise their young children in the late sixties, and they found the island of Papavray in the Scottish Hebrides. There they bought a croft house on a "small acre" of land, and Mary J. (also known as Julia) became the district nurse. At the age of eighty, she first recounted her family's adventures in her debut, "Call the Nurse," where she introduced readers to the austere beauties of the island and the hardy charm and warmth of the islanders. The anecdotes in this new volume take us to the end of her stay on Papavray, after which the MacLeod family left for California. Once again we meet the crofters Archie, Mary, and Fergie, and other friends.
