Sobre este item
London: G. Bell and Sons, 1971. First edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Dennis H. Shepherd. 8vo, blue boards, gilt titles on spine. Endpapers illustrated with a map of Papa Stour, an island to the west of Shetland. 184pp with frontispiece map of Shetland and Papa Stour and line drawings at the start of each chapter. This tells of Stella Shepherd's time as a teacher on a small island over eight years in the 1960s, leaving only when the last child school age child went to the mainland and the school closed for good. This covers the history, culture and changing ways of an island community under the threat of continuing depopulation. “…depicting a way of life, that to me , seems both rare and refreshing.”. Written in an engaging style.
