SHETLAND LIFE UNDER EARL PATRICK - This book gives a unique picture of life in Shetland during the early years of the seventeenth century when the islands were ruled by Patrick Stewart, Earl of Orkney. Concentrated treatment of a single area at one brief period of time has made it possible to provide and unusually detailed and vivid description of the entire economy of Shetland - the products of the land and the sea, and the shelter, food and clothing of the people.
