Màiri Sìne Chaimbeul (Editor)
Màiri Sìne Chaimbeul brings together, for the first time, the full surviving corpus of songs attributed to the celebrated eighteenth-century Kintail and North Carolina poet, Iain mac Mhurchaidh, or John MacRae.
Alasdair Mac Mhaighstir Alasdair is widely regarded as the premier Gaelic poet of the eighteenth century. A detailed introduction attempts to set his life and work in their eighteenth-century context.
In 1940, in Barra in the Outer Hebrides, an 18-year-old woman, Flòraidh, is persuaded to leave her island home when she learns that her stepmother intends to marry her off to the local shopkeeper. She follows her enigmatic friend Lavinia to the city and changes her identity to Laura, like a butterfly, leaving her chrysalis behind, as they join the war effort.
