Lewis - The Story of an Island le Christine MacDonald
The 'dark brown' Hebridean island of Lewis bears many traces of man's long occupation - from the prehistoric standing stones, brochs and carvings to the modern industries of fishing and tweed. The island has a turbulent history, and one full of stirring tales; it has also produced a wealth of art, music and poetry.
This book draws together all the threads of the story of the island and its people. Christine MacDonald, herself born and brought up in Lewis, cares passionately about the island - its past and its future - and this book will both provide the young people of Lewis with an insight into their own roots, and help visitors to discover this fascinating island for themselves.
