Shortlisted for the 1994 Booker Prize, this is one of the finest tales told by George Mackay Brown. Set on an imaginary island in the Orkneys north of Scotland, the story tells of young Thorfinn Ragnarson's daydreams that relive the thousand year history of his birthplace. Viking kings, exotic princes and fabulous adventures await him - and the reader! One of the truly great novels of the last twenty years.
