"Kishies and Cuddies gives the reader a great respect for Shetland’s past and for the skills and invention of Shetlanders. Shetland basketry illustrates an exemplary use of resources and adaptability. The breadth of skill and knowledge entailed in making kishies, cuddies and other Shetland baskets must therefore be celebrated and treasured. This book is a wonderful document of these kinds of knowledge and will provide an invaluable record and handbook, illustrated with local stories, personal accounts, memories of former makers and instructions for making some typical examples." Dr Stephanie Bunn
