Gavin Maxwell

Here's a screenshot from an iPad sketch I did in an app called 'Paper'.
It gets a solid 'Meh.' in my non-existant app review guide. 

Mr. Maxwell on the other hand sounds pretty interesting. He was a
Scottish author who took a fancy to Otters. So much so that, in 1956,
he brought one home from Iraq, to Sandaig. It turned out to
be a new species and was named after him. His book Ring of Bright Water
describes this adventure and was made in to a movie in 1969,
the same year he died of cancer. Sounds like a cool book, 
I'll have to find a copy.
