Lucinda Snodd-Gibbon's Scottish Collection

Lucinda Snodd-Gibbon, the daughter of world famous fashion designers, is sent to stay with her Uncle Angus on the Isle of Snodd for the summer whilst her anxious parents try to think up some designs for their new collection. Lucinda is not keen on visiting Uncle Angus, but she has a great time, checking lobster pots, gathering the sheep off the mountain, beachcombing, and enjoying her uncle's delicious meals. During the summer, Lucinda's parents have been unable to think of any new designs, but when they come to collect her, Lucinda has some ideas to give them. This humorous story manages to give a very entertaining view of the fashion industry and life on a Scottish island and both text and the witty illustrations subtly convey other changes in the relationship between Lucinda and Uncle Angus. The text is divided into easy to read chapters. Shame about the typographical errors on the jacket.
