I've seen the series, but accidentally skipped the first book thinking this was it. There is of course quite a bit of overlap with the show, and I imagine the first book as well! But it's lighthearted, and I listened to the audiobook read by the actors, so that was kinda a fun aspect as well. I think I will try the first book, since my library has the audiobook, but I can't imagine that they won't spend a considerable portion of the book rehashing all the stories from the show, so that will be the third time I hear about them(!), but I liked the new content in this book and didn't mind hearing some of the history again. We'll see how it goes. I recommend this book for people who are interested in the concept but aren't really into TV, or people who really loved the show and desperately want more. =D ( ) Sam Heughan and Graham McTavish are a hilarious duo! This one, sort of like their other Clanlands title, is a companion to their Men in Kilts/Outlander shows, but so much more. Their Clanlands Almanac belts out snippets of Scottish history both ancient and current, outtakes from the shows and personal reflections. You can just feel the love and friendship between these two as they rib each other. no reviews | add a review

HTML: A seasonal meander through the wilds of Scotland If Clanlands was a gentle road trip through Scotland, this almanac is a top-down, pedal-to-the-metal, up-and-down odyssey through the many byways of a Scottish year. An invitation to anyone who picks up the book to join us on a crazy camper van exploration over twelve glorious, whisky fueled months. Mountains, battles, famous (and infamous) Scots, the alarming competitiveness of Men in Kilts, clans, feuds, flora, fauna, with a healthy sprinkling of embarrassing personal reminiscences thrown in. Much is explored, all is shared. It is a camper van cornucopia of all things Alba. From First Footing to Samhain, Fringe Festival follies to whisky lore, Sam and Graham guide listeners through a year of Scottish legends, traditions, and historical and contemporary events, sharing personal stories and tips as only these two chalk-and-cheese friends can. As entertaining as it is practical, The Clanlands Almanac is a lighthearted education in Scottish history and culture, told through the eyes of two passionate Scotsmen. The perfect escapist guide, The Clanlands Almanac is intended as a starting point for your own Scottish discoveries. .No library descriptions found. |
