Compiled by Howard Hazell
The best-selling first volume of The Orcadian Book of the 20th Century was a chronicle of those one hundred years, featuring some of the major news stories that Orkney gave to the world during war and peace.
This second volume is a collection of stories about people who featured both in Orkney and around the world in what was regarded as the people¹s century.
It focuses on the momentous, the quirky and the everyday achievements of ordinary folk. It is a collection of heroes and villains, saints and sinners, the magnificent and the mundane.
It is a true people's digest to be read and enjoyed by Orcadians, and lovers of the Orkney Islands, wherever they may be around the world.
