This unique collection was written by primary school children during workshops in Kirkwall and Stromness Libraries as part of the GMB writing fellowship in 2007.
With a poem, acrostic or image for every letter of the alphabet, it’s a very particular a-z, reflecting the lives and imaginations of some of Orkney’s youngest writers.

First Published in 2008 by The George Mackay Brown Writing Fellowship
