An incident from the Viking period in the Northern Isles of Scotland inspired the title story of this remarkable collection of short stories. Mackay Brown elaborates and transforms it. Here, as in all these 21 stories, his imagination plays upon the past and gives it rich meaning for the present - and indeed universality.
