''An Orkney Maid'' is a novel by Amelia E. Barr, first published in 1900. The story is set in the Orkney Islands, a group of islands off the coast of Scotland, and follows the life of a young girl named Greta, who grows up in a poor family on a small island. Despite her difficult circumstances, Greta is determined to make a better life for herself and her family. She learns to read and write, and eventually becomes a teacher. Along the way, she falls in love with a young man named Eric, but their relationship is complicated by their different social classes. The novel explores themes of love, class, and the struggle for self-improvement in a rural community. The book is written in a simple, straightforward style, and is praised for its vivid descriptions of the Orkney landscape and its portrayal of the strong, independent character of Greta.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
