Description
George Mackay Brown's seminal work, An Orkney Tapestry, is a unique exploration of the Orkney Islands through the lens of poetry. Originally commissioned as an introduction to the islands, this 1969 publication showcases Brown's innovative approach, blending ballad, folk tale, short story, drama, and environmental writing. The result is a rich tapestry that celebrates the people, language, and history of Orkney. This edition features Sylvia Wishart's beautiful illustrations, commissioned for the original hardback, and has been made available again after over 40 years. As an important precursor to environmental writing, An Orkney Tapestry sits alongside other notable works by writers such as Nan Shepherd and Amy Liptrot.
