Christopher Harvie


Mr. Harvie is a former member of the Scottish Parliament and an excellent writer. Only one of his books is in the public library in Jacksonville, but thanks to interlibrary loan, I was able to acquire several of his works for my wife before we traveled to Wyoming for this year's Sir Walter Scott conference. I was concerned that my wife would be bored silly at an academic conference, but meeting Mr. Harvie and an ethnobiologist from Oxford who also only attended to be with his spouse, made this trip an exceptional experience for Anne. Here is a picture of Anne with Mr. Harvie and you see how happy she is.
