So & Co. Books is now selling The Grumpy Old Sailor written by Janice Armstrong and illustrated by our artist Meilo So. The book project took two years to finish. It is the first of four books by the pair. A young boy named Magnus tells the story of the old sailor who lives in the Shetland Islands. Mike McDonnell of The Shetland Times says, "Since Meilo had over all control of the production, the final result is a very professionally finished book which does full justice to the lavish illustrations; the inserted 'spy glass' on the front cover is a nice touch. At one stage, the children in the book burst into a chorus of What Shall We Do With A Grumpy Sailor, and the answer is easy, buy the book!" The pictures are from the book launch at the Shetland Museum.
