The Sea and the Tower

Calgary Alberta Canada: Bayeux, 1994 A Very Attractive Fine Art Publication With Black And White Illustrations By Erlend Brown Well-Attuned To George Mackay Brown's Fine Narrative Poem Describing A Sea Journey During The Trojan War. First Edition, No Writing Or Marks. The Unclipped Dj Has A One Inch Closed Tear Upper Front Panel And Some Loss At Lower Rear Panel. There Is A Story Behind The Unusual Combination Of A Publisher From Calgary Alberta And A Poet From The Orkney Islands. Ashis Gupta Tells Of Travel To Scotland In 1993 And A Visit To Pay His Respects To The Great Poet Of The Orkneys, During Which He Made "A Thoughtless Promise . . . In Stromness, Orkney Islands, Aided By Sufficient Pints Of The Splendid Orkney Ale, Appropriately Named ¿Skullsplitter¿." And So Bayeux Arts Publishing Was Born, And Their Maiden Entry Into Publishing Was Brown's 'Beside The Ocean Of Time' Which Was Nominated For The Booker Prize.
