Hebridean Visitors’ Book
Following the immense success of the “Hebridean” diaries and address books in 2005, Birlinn has decided to add a Visitor’s book to this attractive range of stationery. Illustrated throughout with Mairi’s beautiful watercolours of the Hebridean islands, this book would be an ideal gift, or the perfect finishing touch to a guest bedroom.
Mairi Hedderwick
Mairi Hedderwick was born in Gourock, Scotland. At seventeen she took a job as a mother’s help on the Isle of Coll in the Hebrides, beginning a life-long love affair with islands and their small communities. Her children were brought up there and now some of her grandchildren. Mairi’s island world is delightfully reflected in the imaginary island of Struay where her perennially popular Katie Morag stories are set. As well as creating children’s books Mairi writes and illustrates travel books for adults. She also illustrated the acclaimed Janet Reachfar books, which are published by Birlinn.
