Product Description
by Peter Kerr (Author)
"This award-winning book, first published in 2000, launched the best-selling series of five books charting the Kerr family's often-hilarious adventures after leaving Scotland in the 1980s to grow oranges for a living on the Spanish island of Mallorca."
It's the stuff of dreams, but when they turn out to be not quite as intended, laughter is the best medicine.
"Look! The weather has come from Scotland to welcome you to Mallorca,"beamed Senor Ferrer. To our new neighbour's delight and my dismay, a cold mantle of white was rapidly transforming our newly acquired paradise in the sun into a bizarre winterscape of citrus Christmas trees, cotton wool palms and Snowball Oranges.
Full of life and colour, joyful and revealing, and set against a backdrop of the breathtaking beauty of Mallorca.
(The subsequent titles in this series are 'One Mallorcan Summer [previously published as Mañana, Mañana'], 'Viva Mallorca!', 'A Basketful of Snowflakes' and 'From Paella to Porridge'. 'Thistle Soup' is a set-in-Scotland prequel to the series).
