A sixpence song and a pocket of wheat

For the first time in Russian, the famous dilogy of Archibald Cronin!
“A Sixpence Song and a Pocket of Wheat” are the first two lines of a famous English song, as well as the names of two no less famous works by Archibald Cronin, created in the best traditions of the “education novels” of Dickens, Balzac and Flaubert. The story about the fate of a young man from Scotland, dreamy, ambitious and naive, reflected many autobiographical facts from the life of the author. Cronin narrates about his adventures, victories and defeats, losses and gains, loves and disappointments with warm humor and with that heartfelt realism that evokes sympathy and empathy, which distinguishes his original creative style.
The reader will find here the same vivid narrative gift that marked other novels of the author that have become modern classics, such as Brody's Castle, Stars Look Down, The Citadel and many others.
