Golden Bird

These two long stories are set, like most of George Mackay Brown's work, in Orkney and in a period, the last quarter of the nineteenth century, when the pattern of island life, little changed since Viking times, was beginning to be threatened.

Aceste doua povesti lungi sunt stabilite, la fel ca majoritatea operei lui George Mackay Brown, in Orkney si intr-o perioada, ultimul sfert al secolului al XIX-lea, cand modelul vietii insulare, putin schimbat de pe vremea vikingilor, incepea sa fie amenintat.
