“Scotland is a nation rich with traditional customs, superstitions, and magical folklore. Its beautiful and dramatic geography has inspired a feast of romantic and historical stories. These tell of a world where human weaknesses and strengths, evil doings and charitable acts are repaid in kind by fabulous beasts, beguiling witches, elves, fairies, monsters, and giants.
The tales collected together in this superb volume, both the famous and the less well-known, have been gathered from a wide variety of sources throughout Scotland. Handed down by word of mouth from generation to generation, and once told in cosy crofters’ cottages and draughty castles, these spell-binding tales and legends will thrill and entertain readers of all ages.”
Paperback, excellent condition.
