A brand new illustrated edition of a children’s classic, Light on Dumyat by Rennie McOwan, is now in its fifth edition and has been specially illustrated for a new young readership. Rennie is the founder of Friends of the Ochils.
This classic tale of adventure, friendship and courage is greatly influenced by the author’s childhood. Aimed at 7–11 year olds, there are no phones or i-pads, just four resourceful children roaming free, having adventures and being at one with their environment.
Light on Dumyat is the first book in a series of four and introduces the key characters, Gavin and the Stewart children. Set in central Scotland, Gavin on holiday from London meets the three Stewart children and is desperate to join their ‘Clan’. To do so he has to pass a series of tests. The three redoubtable Stewarts teach Gavin about the ancient ways of the Clans, how to survive outdoors and the four join forces against a ruthless criminal gang.
Light on Dumyat is published by Rowan Tree Publishing
