Originally published in 1997, A Braw Brew has proved to be enormously popular with young folk throughout Scotland. Ranging from the traditional tales of Stanley Robertson and James McGonigal; sea faring adventures with Theresa Breslin and virtual-reality football with Michael Fitt; to the contemporary issues of drugs, identity and the National Lottery in the stories of Sheena Blackhall, Sheila Douglas and Dauvit Alexander.
