Product Description

Literary Review

"A hauntingly beautiful memoir." Maggie Parham.


Product Description

George Mackay Brown wrote this memoir in the years before his death in 1996, but he did not want it published while he lived. In particular, he looks at Orkney, where he was born the youngest child in a poor family, and which he rarely left.

5.0 out of 5 stars magic inspired by the isles, 10 Oct 2003
By Mr. P. N. Macleod "pol" (uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
what can i say. GMB is a fantastic writer, poet, dramatist and in the pages of this book you really do get to know the real man behind the magical writings he has produced over the years. ill health in childhood is perhaps the reason GMB was able to share his delightful imaginative work with us as prolonged perionds in isolation left him time to day dream and create his wonderful characters and tales. we learn of his time away from orkney where he was able to study at college, and spend time amongst some of the countries great scholars and thinkers of the time. it is such a shame that GMB has past away but we can be thankful he has left us so much to remember him by. this book is a must for any avid reader.
