More info
An account of a busy year in the life of a boy who lives at Kirbuster in Birsay in the late 16th century.
He experiences the changes of the seasons and the different tasks they bring, and the joys and heartbreaks that come along.
Marvel with him as he visits St Magnus Cathedral in Kirkwall for the first time, and shiver as he gets caught up in the Battle of Papdale.
This is a great read, and an excellent window into the world of 16th-Century Orkney.
