Summary of Richard Holloway's Leaving Alexandria

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I had a passion for walking, and I would spend hours exploring the hills around me. I would always go north first, to see the beautiful mountain of Ben Lomond.

#2 I had a love of walking, and I would often go to the Ben and its island-patterned Loch. I would turn to the north first when I got to the top of Carman Hill, and I would always return to the Ben.

#3 I could see the Leven River down below me, and I could see five towns that it passed through: Balloch, Bonhill, Jamestown, Alexandria, and Dumbarton. I imagined my father in one of these towns, dyeing bales of cloth hour after hour.

#4 The town of Alexandria was named after Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Smollett, Member of Parliament for Dunbartonshire in the late eighteenth century. The Smollett family was famous for novelist Tobias Smollett.
