Description:
We are auctioning a signed working book with authors notes and signed of a Kettle of Fish By Nigel Tranter (With Original Thoughts and Ideas from the author) Nigel Tranter was probably the most prolific Scottish author after Sir Walter Scott. Tranter published over 100 historical novels and many non-fiction books such as The Queen’s Scotland series. Born in Glasgow, he spent much of his life in Aberlady, which he loved.

A Kettle of Fish is a fictional story based on the 1857, Tweed Fisheries Act that made it illegal to fish for Salmon in 50 square miles of open sea off the mouth of the River Tweed. A local schoolmaster, Adam Horsburgh, believed the Act should be challenged openly and when he proceeds to act, a full-scale fish war breaks out. This book stands the test of time, it is still on sale 50 years after its first publication and its message echoes in today's politics.
