This illustrated text explores the origins, meanings and making of the straw bikko 'straw bitch' in Orkney. Following confirmation that these straw animals were still made in the 1920s, the author managed to track down octogenarians and nongenarians who could pass on direct information of its history and survival, and even make one.
