Para Handy, a legendary figure in Scottish maritime history, has captured the hearts of generations since his debut in the Glasgow Evening News in 1905. As the master mariner and his crew, including Dougie the mate, Macphail the engineer, Sunny Jim, and the Tar, embark on their voyages between West Highland ports and Glasgow, they transport readers back to a bygone era when puffers ruled the seas. This comprehensive edition includes all three collections published during the author's lifetime, as well as unpublished treasures and a newly discovered story unearthed in 2001. Extensive notes accompany each story, offering valuable insights into colloquialisms, place names, and historical events. Furthermore, this volume showcases a wealth of contemporary photographs, capturing the harbors, steamers, and puffers of the era of the Vital Spark. Para Handy's enduring legacy continues to captivate readers, reminding us of the romance and adventure that sailed the Scottish coastlines.
