Summary "My Man Sandy" by J.B. Salmond is a collection of humorous sketches written in the late 19th century. The book features the eccentric character Sandy Bowden and his friend Bawbie, who narrates the amusing anecdotes stemming from Sandy's misadventures and unique perspectives on life, often reflecting the quirks and dialect of Scottish culture. The opening of the work introduces readers to Sandy's whimsical nature as he engages in various escapades, beginning with his ill-fated attempt to swap a horse for a more appealing one. The narrative paints a picture of Sandy's personality through a series of humorous incidents, such as his unconventional problem-solving methods and interactions with townsfolk. From his peculiar logic to his interactions with friends and neighbors, the slice-of-life sketches establish the spirited, comedic tone that carries throughout the collection.
