By Ragnhild Ljosland
Chrissie Costie is a forgotten Orkney writer.

In this book, Ragnhild Ljosland attempts to put the record straight and argues that Costie deserves a place among the top Orkney writers and the shy lady from Kirkwall should not be dismissed as "a spinster lawyer, who wrote dialect verse in her spare time".
