Heim-Laund and Heim-Folk (1892)

Heim-Laund and Heim-Folk is a book written by Jessie Margaret Edmondston Saxby and was first published in 1892. The book is a collection of stories and poems that provide a glimpse into the life and culture of the people of Shetland, an archipelago in Scotland. The title of the book is derived from the Shetland dialect, where ""heim"" means home, ""laund"" means land, and ""folk"" means people. The book is divided into two parts, with Heim-Laund focusing on the geography and natural history of Shetland, while Heim-Folk explores the customs, traditions, and way of life of the Shetland people. The stories and poems are written in a language that reflects the dialect and vernacular of the Shetland people, making the book an important historical record of their language and culture. Saxby's writing is vivid and descriptive, painting a picture of the rugged and beautiful landscape of Shetland and the hardy people who call it home. The book also includes illustrations by Saxby's sister, Frances Jane Saxby, who was a well-known artist and illustrator in her own right. Overall, Heim-Laund and Heim-Folk is a fascinating and insightful look into the world of Shetland, its people, and its culture, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Scottish history and culture.This Book Is In English.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
