Over the centuries eiderdown has been coveted by the Vikings, Russian tsars and medieval tax collectors who accepted it as revenue. The plumage of a fat sea duck, eiderdown – treasured for its extraordinary lightness and insulation – now joins cocaine as an instrument of globalisation and commodity of the super-rich. In this revelatory essay, Edward Posnett travels to the Westfjords region of Iceland to explore the fragile relationship between Icelanders and the duck. Eiderdown harvesting began with the arrival of Norse settlers in the 9th century, and it is now stuffed into pillows, duvets and clothing which sell for thousands of pounds in Japan, China, Germany and Russia. What might at first appear an idyllic pastime becomes a story of compromise and exploitation. Posnett’s finely spun prose and his fascinating encounters open up this seldom seen trade, one which hangs in the balance.

The dialogues between Golyga and Lilly, collaborators across the veil, are as entertaining and revealing as the stories of the book’s characters. Golyga, his beloved, Lillykins, her brother, and the family baby - shape-shifters all - encounter adventures conjured by Golyga’s ever fertile imagination and each new character we meet - from the ash-breathing dragon to the ambitious frog, from the old woman who sang to the arrogant lark who laughed at her, and many more, - each one delivers life-lessons by way of amusing and memorable tales of adventure, of misadventure, of parables and yes, occasionally, by way of the plain spoken imparting of wisdom.
