Step into the enchanting world of the Scottish Highlands, where romance, humor, profound musings, and sporting endeavors intertwine. In the opening chapter, a small dark man ventures into a vibrant village street, encountering a group of intriguing individuals. Amidst their interactions, a postmaster imparts vital directions for a mountain climb, cautioning against the notorious mists that shroud Cairnbaan. Hugh Forbes travels to Scotland to see his friend, Taleath Grant. They have been through thick and thin together and their friendship ensures. On the way he meets Taleath's sister and their cousin, Vivian. Vivian takes an instant dislike to Hugh and when they are stranded at night on the hills things come to a head. The hills and glens are beautifully portrayed as are the animals and games in which Hugh takes part. Maurice Walsh (1879—1964) is one of Ireland’s most beloved novelists. He is probably best known for the short story The Quiet Man–a contained story from the separately connected short stories that make up the novel Green Rushes. Maurice Walsh was born on 21 April 1879 in Ballydonoghue, near Listowel, County Kerry, Ireland. He was the third child of ten and the first son born to John Walsh, a local farmer, and his wife Elizabeth Buckley who lived in a three-roomed thatched farmhouse. Maurice went to school in Lisselton and later went to St Michael’s College in Listowel to prepare for the Civil Service examination. He entered the Customs and Excise Service in 1901 as an Assistant Revenue Officer and after an initial posting in Limerick, was sent to Scotland; with the exception of 1909-1913 when he was based in Ireland, he spent much of his British service in the Highlands, where his job involved monitoring whisky distilleries in Speyside.
