Scottish Fairy and Folk Tales

Scottish Fairy and Folk Tales is a timeless collection of Scottish folklore, legends, and tales which will appeal to readers of all ages. Here you will find stories of the fantastic, the supernatural, the cunning, the hilarious, and the gifted-all finely representative of the Scottish people in all their mannerisms.

Here one can meet the mythical kelpy-a supernatural water horse that was said to haunt Scotland's lochs and lonely rivers. The reader will also meet the bogle ghost, giants, mythical beasts-and a comical lamb which seeks to please its master, even to the cooking pot... The stories in this classic volume were compiled from oral traditions and the oldest Scottish writings. Rarely has such a pleasing and complete overview of traditional Scottish folklore ever seen the light of day. Now fully reset, complete with its original beautiful illustrations.
