A lovely story that is timeless really, my son remembered it from his childhood and was delighted to receive it again. Just as described and a joy to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A life-changing story of charm, humor and the Scottish hills
Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 1998
This is the story of a wee gamekeeper's son from Perthshire who takes a body-building course by correspondence and ends up an Olympic champion. The glory of the book lies in its accurate depiction of the Scottish Highlands and the small community which propels Geordie on his way. The beauty of the crag where the eagle nests, and the scent of the mist in the glen, are everywhere. But a wry humour prevents this little masterpiece from ever cloying or sounding a false note. Someone on the dustjacket of my copy said he read it on long air raids into Germany during the last war. It reminded him what he was fighting for. Find it if you can!

5.0 out of 5 stars Geordie
Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2000
For anyone who grew up "little" in stature, wee Geordie is an inspiration and a joy. With the unlimited optimism known only to children, he develops his scrawny little body into a Scottish Charles Atlas. Luckily, his pluck grows along with his body and he becomes a man with great heart. As a child, I identified strongly with this brave little boy, as did my tiny daughter twenty years later! I wish this book were readily available for all late-bloomers to enjoy!

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed
Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2007
I read this book many years ago and I thought it an excellent for young adults. However I was disappointed that the story had been changed to suit an audience in the USA.

5.0 out of 5 stars A trip down memory lane.

I got this for my 11 year old grandson because I’d enjoyed both the book and the film as a child. It’s out of print, so I bought a second hand copy. It took a while to arrive, but was in as good condition as could be expected for a book that’s 70 years old! I re read it before I gave it to him, and thoroughly enjoyed its gentle old worldliness. I don’t know if he’s read it yet, maybe it won’t appeal too much to a modern child, though he told me that he was bored with the books that he was reading and wanted something a bit different. We’ll see!

I read this book at school and wanted my son to read it because it is a fine story. I bought this book because I liked the retro look and I wanted an old version. It is in good condition as described by the seller and my son l;iked the story so a good buy all round and the bonus - I can read it again!
