Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Whiff O' the Doric O the poems of Mr. Dunbar no introduction is necessary in this part of the country. Stoneywood is a familiar nom de plume in several newspapers, and a previous volume of verse, A Cuff 0 Peat Reek, in no wise belied its title, for the edition vanished swiftly and easily, like a wisp of peat smoke. Copies are now unobtainable, and a like good fortune should attend the present collection. The Doric to-day, one is reluctantly compelled to fear, is in a condition far from robust. Vernacular writing in the strict and traditional dialect has tended to lose flexibility, and to present itself as something in our world but not of it, as an anachronism, as a curiosity; and its effect is not to revivify the Scots tongue. But verse in the easy current speech of the people, verse such as Mr. Dunbar writes happily, brightly, and with facility, finds at once its ready audience. It does not seek after words and phrases that have fallen into disuse, nor does it hanker after any flourish or ornament which is not in keeping with its own fresh and natural simplicity. To the country people the faithful pictures drawn in the poems which follow will be a welcome and striking reflection of a style of life that is fast disappearing, while the songs Mr. Dunbar's especial strength are frequently melodious with that quiet, almost plaintive melody which goes straight to the heart to cheer and refresh it. Principally because Stoneywood has looked at his world and knows his nation and because he shuns all the devious paths which lead away from the true, unaffected, human spirit of the Doric, these poems fulfil those high hopes which inspire so many writers as they murmur their valedictory, Go, little book.

Download or read book A Doric Dictionary written by Douglas Kynoch and published by Luath Press Ltd. This book was released on 2020-04-11 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What's the difference between a meggie-monyfeet and a hornie-gollach? Between snap-an-rattle and murly-tuck? All is explained in the Doric Dictionary. It is a two-way lexicon of words and phrases drawn from the former Banffshire in the North through Aberdeenshire to the Mearns and North Angus and drawn from the published works of most the North-east's best-known writers of the 19th and 20th centuries. As the writer says in his foreword, 'There is not one monolithic form of Doric but a multliplicity of forms; and words can change not only from county to county but from village to village'. The Dictionary contains no fewer than eight variants of the term for a seagull. This new version (2018) is enhanced by a most stimulating injection of Buchan vocabulary drawn from W. P. Milne's historical novel, Eppie Elrick.

Book excerpt: Welcome to Crickley Creek, where dreams are encouraged—as long as they fit within the proper rules of etiquette. Sweet Charlotte Sinclair has no idea that “bless your heart” is the same as “screw you”—and she’s about to find out the hard way. After her mother’s death, Charlotte moved from free-wheeling California to her mother’s tiny hometown in the Lowcountry of South Carolina, longing to feel closer to her and searching for closure. Charlotte loves her status as a popular coffee shop owner and is enjoying her budding romance with local hero Will Rushton more than she’d like to admit. So why is she still struggling to find acceptance within the Crickley Creek community? There’s a secret nestled among the plantation homes and Spanish moss-covered oaks—a truth her mother’s arch rival will do anything to hide. And if Charlotte doesn’t learn how to overcome the damage some well-placed gossip can do to her reputation, she might lose everything, including her rose-colored memories of her mother. But is it possible for an outsider to belong in the deep South and still remain true to her own roots?
