A fabulous gift book featuring children's favourite, Katie Morag McColl.
A graduate of Edinburgh College of Art, Mairi Hedderwick was a
teacher before she started illustrating children's books. As an
author and illustrator her most popular character, Katie Morag, was
created in 1984.
Katie Morag's home on the fictional Hebridean island of Struay is
not a million sea miles away from her author's life long
association with the Isle of Coll.
In 2013 Katie Morag joined Cbeebies with the successful TV series
produced by Move On Up / Struay Films.
Mairi Hedderwick has also written and illustrated many other books
for children and adults, all with the backdrop of the Highlands and
Islands. She was awarded an Honorary Degree from Stirling
University in 2003 in recognition of her outstanding contribution
to writing and illustration in Scotland, especially for
children.
Her illustrated adult books are An Eye on the Hebrides, which is a
record of a six month continous journey through the islands on the
west of Scotland. Highland Journey, follows the footsteps of
Victorian writer and artist John T Reid; Sea Change, logs the
passage of 26ft vintage yacht Anassa from east to west coast
Scotland via the Caledonian canal; Shetland Rambles, her latest
illustrated personal journey is in tandem with John T Reid once
more. The Last Laird of Coll is a memoir of Kenneth Stewart, last
laird of Coll.
