Description:Wee Macgregor is a boy of around seven or eight from the decent and kind sort of working-class family with which Glasgow's East End abounds, now and then. He has a wee sister called Jeannie, A Maw called Lizzie and a Paw called John.He had his genesis, 10 years before author J.J. Bell put pen to paper in 1901, in an overheard fragment of conversation on a Glasgow Fair Saturday on a boat going doon the watter when a distracted mother of five said to her eldest, ''Macgregor, tak yer paw's haun, or ye'll get nae carvies tae yer tea''. Carvies are, of course, sugared caraway seeds, unfashionable these days except in Indian restaurants, but a widely used breath-sweetener and children's treat at the time.The language and the dialect are part of the charm of the stories and the play, with words like stroop (the spout of a teapot), sumph (a lout), and grumphy (a pig) and they are instantly recognisable in context.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
