John Gunn assembles chapters by Orkney writers on every side of their islands. The first part tells the story of the past, from prehistoric Orkney and the Norsemen of the sagas to the earldom of Thorfinn and Rognvald and the dark century that followed; later parts turn to the islands’ larks, starlings and wild birds, their landscape and their people.
A rich regional anthology, opening with a poem to the wandering sons of the isles, for anyone with Orkney roots or Norse interests. Download the free EPUB.
