First published in 1969, An Orkney Tapestry, George Mackay Brown's
seminal work, is a unique look at Orkney through the eye of a poet.
Originally commissioned by his publisher as an introduction to the
Orkney Islands, Brown approached the writing from a unique
perspective and went on to produce a rich fusion of ballad, folk
tale, short story, drama and environmental writing. The book,
written at an early stage in the author's career, explores themes
that appear in his later work and was a landmark in Brown's
development as a writer. Above all, it is a celebration of Orkney's
people, language and history. This edition reproduces Sylvia
Wishart's beautiful illustrations, commissioned for the original
hardback. Made available again for the first time in over 40 years,
this new edition sits alongside Nan Shepherd's The Living Mountain
as an important precursor of environmental writing by the likes of
Kathleen Jamie, Robert Macfarlane, Malachy Tallack and, most
recently, Amy Liptrot.
