Islay Book Festival

<P>Catriona Black discusses how she came to write her very accessible illustrated pocketbook ‘Sly Cooking’, other favourite Gaelic words, and her work as an artist. ‘Sly Cooking’ revives Catriona’s favourite 42 weird and wonderful Gaelic words collected by 19th century priest, poet and folklorist Father Allan. The linoprint illustrations from Catriona’s book are also on display at the Gaelic College throughout September as part of its Argyll tour. This session is in English with some Gaelic content.</P>
<P>Introduced by Donald S. Murray. Sponsored by the Gaelic Books Council.</P>
