Scottish Folk and Fairy Tales

˝In the early stories we meet the magical creatures: brownies, kelpies, fairies and mermen - some unique to Scotland, some familiar to all. We are then introduced to giants and monsters as well as witches, ˝good fok˝ and a great many more spellbinding characters. Along with traditional tales, some of which have become old favourites, such as ˝Thomas Rymer˝ and ˝Adam Bell˝, are stories by some of our finest modern storytellers, such as John Buchan and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Andrew Lang's ˝The Gold of Fairnilee˝, whose action takes place against the battle of Flodden in 1513, has been described as one of the finest fairy stories written in the Victorian age. This carefully selected volume allows you to judge for yourself.˝
