Soft cover. Zustand: Good. 1st Southside Edition. Paperback. Signed by the Author to previous owner to inside cover. Previous owners name to inside cover. Crossing out lines to back cover. In The Confederates the story is named after eight avaricious chieftains who form a league among themselves, for the sole purpose of lining their pockets by unethical, if not illegal, means. Their attempt is foiled by an impecunious old farmer who, ironically, uses bribery to defeat corruption and secure his son's rights. One of the essential themes of Hen-Thorir is epitomised in the saying 'Evil comes of evil men'. A miserly landowner refuses to sell his spare hay to others in need, and his selfishness leads to a series of bloddy events, including murder, arson, treachery and battle. 139 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.).

In every respect Lorimer took their work a step further and his translation represents the culminating achievement and pinnacle of this endeavour. His parents, his two elder brothers and his elder sister all demonstrated a strong interest in languages and Lorimer followed their lead, spending most of his life teaching Greek in the universities at St Andrews and Dundee and becoming Professor of Greek at St Andrews in 1953.'

Orr was awarded the CBE in 1972 and continued to compose up until his death in 2006. Signed by Author(s).…
