Synopsis
'His novels are playing a significant part in redefining Scotland's image of itself in literature' Independent on Sunday In REBUS'S SCOTLAND Ian Rankin uncovers the Scotland that the tourist never sees, highlighting the places that inspired the settings for the Inspector Rebus novels. Rankin also reveals the story of Rebus and how he came into being, who he is, and what his - and Rankin's - Scotland is like. With over 100 evocative photographs, specially commissioned to reflect the text, REBUS'S SCOTLAND is the perfect gift for anyone interested in Scotland or in the novels of Ian
Review
This three disc pack is brilliant with Ian narrating the whole story himself with the help of James MacPherson.
I had to hear all three discs one after the other because the content and the tales of his life in Edinburgh are so clear and visible as he speaks. If you know anything about Edinburgh you will feel very much a part of the story.
For those homesick Scots out there get hold of this disc set and find yourself back in your homeland capitol.
Ian Rankin at the end of the story talks of how his books have come together and including some of the people who became the models for his characters and unwittingly were included within his novel.
