About the Author:
Mairi Hedderwick, the creator of Katie Morag, is one of Scotland's best-known and best-loved author/illustrators. Born in Gourock and educated at the Edinburgh College of Art, she moved to the Isle of Coll, in the Hebrides, in 1962. Though her first home there had no electricity or running water, she settled to raise a family and teach art at the local primary school. Her three books for Canongate, An Eye on the Hebrides, Highland Journey and Sea Change, have been reprinted many times.
Review:
Just magical and a superb book. * * Highland News * * Thoughtfully written, intensely personal and hugely entertaining * * Scottish World * * It is a beautiful book where her delicate water-colours and pen-and-ink drawings are perfectly blended with her succinct, often witty prose as evocative of the islands as the smell of peat smoke, the taste of smoked herring or a vintage malt. * * The Scotsman * * This is a splendid account of a changing country. * * The Good Book Guide * *
