The First Wash of Spring

For many years George Mackay Brown wrote a weekly column in The Orcadian, and this book is the fourth selection from it to be collected into book form.

Here are more of George Mackay Brown's lyrical and independent-minded musings on those subjects that took his interests - including some short stories that appeared in the column and even a poem.

The book covers the period from the 1990s up until the last day's of his life.
