Guddicks - Traditional Riddles from Shetland offers diverse, informative and often humorous insight into traditional life in Shetland's past. The book is packed with personal narratives by Shetlanders themselves – many born in the late 1890s –describing a largely self-sufficient way of life in a bygone era. A closer look at riddles and the cultural context in which they originated, gives the reader a unique opportunity to explore in detail a wealth of traditions, from agriculture, animal husbandry and fishing, to spinning weaving, knitting, basketry and many other crafts.
