An edition of George Mackay Brown's posthumously published collection of short stories, originally released in 1998, two years after the author's death.
George Mackay Brown's writing has never been more compelling and imaginative than in these six stories that celebrate the sea and the land, the past and the present, voyages and homecomings.
Like his previous collections, "A Time to Keep" and "A Calendar of Love", this volume explores Brown's concerns with history, spirituality, legend and storytelling.
In the title story, Brown uses the famous Orcadian myth of the selkie. The story "Poet and Prince: A Fable", explores the role of the writer in society, a tale which begins in an unknown European state and concludes on Brown's beloved islands.
