March 2011 Guest Editor Robert Goddard on Para Handy...

Between 1905 and his retirement from journalism in 1924, Neil Munro produced 99 short stories for the Glasgow Evening News about the mishaps and misadventures of Para Handy and the crew of the Vital Spark. Ferrying assorted cargoes, some of them living, between Glasgow and the West Highland ports, Para, Dougie the mate, MacPhail the engineer and Sunny Jim the cook (in succession to The Tar) will welcome you aboard whenever you want to escape to their world within a world of scrapes, japes, disagreements and surprising discoveries. As Para himself would say, it’s “chust sublime.”
