Island (book)

Island (book)

"Island" is a book of short stories by Alistair MacLeod, published in 2000 by McClelland and Stewart.

The book collects all of the short stories published in MacLeod's earlier collections, "The Lost Salt Gift of Blood" and "As Birds Bring Forth the Sun and Other Stories", as well as two previously unpublished stories. The volume was published because the success of MacLeod's 1999 debut novel "No Great Mischief" revived interest in MacLeod's prior work, which was largely out of print by this time.
