About the author

Although she was born in Gourock, and attended the Edinburgh College of Art, the highlands and islands of Scotland have always been Mairi Hedderwick's true home. In 1962 she settled on Coll, where she raised her family and taught art at primary school. Her first home on Coll had no electricity or running water, and the nearest neighbor lived two miles away.

Mairi Hedderwick is the author and illustrator of the much loved Katie Morag series of children's books the first of which was published in 1984.

Hedderwick has also written and illustrated several travel books, including Highland Journey and An Eye on the Hebrides.

[Julie · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love this book! So much fun. Wonderful water color pictures and lots of island stories. Can't wait to read the first one next. First came across Katie Morag in a book shop in the UK. Bought a little paperback book. Then found these storybooks filled with several stories each. Also found a dvd of the stories and it was delightful. It would make anyone want to leave their busy life and go live on a Hebridean island where everyone knows everyone else and there are such everyday adventures to be had : )

3.5 stars. We love the illustrations and stories, but I always downgrade a rating for children that sass without consequence. That happens at times with Katie Morag stories, but at others she learns a lesson.
