Author Information

George Mackay Brown was born in Stromness, Orkney, on 17 October 1921. He died there in 1996. His many awards include a Society of Authors Travel Award, 1968; SAC Literature Prize, 1969; Katherine Mansfield Menton Short Story Prize, 1971; Hon. LLD from Dundee University, 1977; OBE, 1974; James Tait Black Memorial Prize 1987 (for The Golden Bird). He was nominated for the Booker Prize in 1994 for his novel Beside the Ocean of Time. Kath Littler worked as an art teacher and practicing painter in various media throughout her career. After moving to Dorset in 1992, she became interested in printmaking and was a member of Poole Printmakers for many years. Then, in 2003, she was inspired to take up wood engraving. Much of Kath's subject matter derives from the beauty of the landscape and coast. She prints her wood engravings by hand on a Victorian press and is a member of the Society of Wood Engravers, with whom she exhibits regularly.
