Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
The drawings are beautiful and humourous and the story is richly crafted.Katie Morag is a young girl who lives on the island of Struay, off the west coast of Scotland (a fictitious island, I think!) and this story tells of the impact on the islanders when a new pier is proposed...there is excitement (Katie Morag,and those islanders whose business will benefit) and there is doubt(Katie Morag's grannnie,who fears that the "old ways" will be forgotten) but in the end there is positive for all concerned.My daughter adores, as do I, all the Katie Morag books, partly beacause of the strong Scottish flavour which we keenly relate to,but also because the stories are funny and touching,with a good dose of reality woven in,and the illustrations are enchanting.
