Book Review of Rolling in the Isles

Rolling in the Isles
reviewed on


Calling this "gay & rollicking" is a slight overstatement, but I nonetheless enjoyed it very much. Light-hearted but not really laugh-out-loud; midway between Betty MacDonald's down-to-earth fun and Margaret Halsey's more literary, restrained style. The slender page count includes several charming full-page illustrations by James R. Hamil, but the narrative is fully realized.
