Auld Drainie And Brownie: A Reminiscence Of 60 Years Ago is a book written by William Gairdner and originally published in 1903. The book is a memoir of the author's childhood in the small Scottish village of Drainie in the mid-19th century. Gairdner recounts his experiences growing up in the village, including his interactions with the local people and his encounters with the supernatural.One of the main themes of the book is the belief in brownies, a type of fairy or supernatural creature that was said to live in the homes of Scottish families and perform helpful tasks such as cleaning and cooking. Gairdner shares several stories of brownies that he heard as a child, including one about a brownie who helped a poor family by doing their chores and leaving them gifts of food and clothing.In addition to the stories of brownies, Gairdner also describes the daily life of the villagers in Drainie, including their work, their customs, and their social interactions. He provides a vivid picture of the village and its inhabitants, painting a portrait of a close-knit community that was deeply rooted in tradition and folklore.Overall, Auld Drainie And Brownie: A Reminiscence Of 60 Years Ago is a charming and nostalgic look back at a bygone era in Scottish history.

WILLIAM GAIRDNER has published a dozen books, a half-dozen journal articles, and hundreds of insightful essays online. As a consequence, many eager to read his work, are not sure where to begin. Disruptive Essays was created to help them. It is what some call a "Reader," offering a fascinating and varied selection from his bestselling books, articles, and blogs. The disruptive title was chosen because, as Gairdner warns: "There Are No Safe Spaces In This Book!" It's only for those who enjoy deeply-deployed, tough arguments on a wide range of politically-incorrect topics, from the failures of socialism, to the falsities of feminism, to the folly of gay marriage, to the many popular illusions about, well, almost everything. Yes, everything. Readers will come face to face with the perhaps fatal weaknesses of democracy, with Karl Marx, with Lance Armstrong, Rousseau, Hitler, Mill, and Nabokov, and with the broader case for why Liberals and Conservatives will never, ever agree. And more: with the attack on traditional marriage, with sexing society, with objections to global warming, with the war between Christianity and Islam, with moral relativism, and with how there are six kinds of freedom, not just one. This is a book for those keen to challenge themselves with the clarity and controversy of no-holds-barred debate.
