Description
Bryce Wilson's memoir is a warm and humorous account of growing up in post-WWII Orkney, where the author, a native of Stromness, reflects on his life and the people who shaped it.
From his childhood friendships with notable figures from Orkney's cultural scene, including poets and artists, to his own contributions to the development of the Pier Arts Centre and the island's museums, Wilson's stories offer a unique glimpse into the history and culture of the Orkney Islands.
With a keen eye for detail and a love of storytelling, Wilson shares tales of his own family's history, including his summer holidays on the tiny island of Graemsay, and the community's efforts to recognize the achievements of Arctic explorer Dr John Rae.
