About the Book
Come on an adventure to the edge of the world!
This is a true story about a real place. A place hidden behind the waves. The Vikings saw it in their dreams, and sometimes sea birds call its name. It’s a dot on a map. The blink of an eye. The beat of a wing. Storms and songs and stickleback stop by on their travels.
This is St Kilda. A tiny group of islands; an archipelago: Hirta, Boreray, Soay, Dùn. They call them The Islands at the End of the World.
Come on an adventure, far away across the sea to the mysterious St Kilda to discover its story.
Shortlisted for the Edward Stanford Children's Travel Book of the Year 2024
