The Masked Fisherman and Other Stories by George Mackay Brown
An incident from the Viking period in the Northern Isles of Scotland inspired the story from which this collection takes its title. The stories range from the first century, to the 1920s - when the author was a child - to one which ends a hundred years from now.
Brown, George MacKay: - George Mackay Brown was one of Scotland's greatest twentieth-century writers, but in person a bundle of paradoxes. He had a wide international reputation, but hardly left his native Orkney. A prolific poet, admired by such fellow poets as Seamus Heaney, Ted Hughes and Charles Causley, and hailed by the composer Peter Maxwell Davies as 'the most positive and benign influence ever on my own efforts at creation', he was also an accomplished novelist (shortlisted for the 1994 Booker Prize for Beside the Ocean of Time) and a master of the short story.
