Day 5 - Mairi

Day 5 at Story Shop starred Mairi Wilson and 'Flowers on the Flagstone'. Read this haunting - and prize-winning story! - here. Thanks to Chris Scott for letting us use the snap.

Our annual Story Shop showcase presents new and emerging Edinburgh writers to audiences at the Edinburgh International Book Festival. Every day of the festival, that's 17 in total, at 4pm in the Guardian Spiegeltent, a writer reads a story of compact beauty, for free. Story Shop is now in its fifth year, and we've got a stellar line up for each day of the festival 2012. Read all about them here and join us at 4pm each day until 27th August if you can!
