Scottish Folk & Fairy Tales: Fables, Folklore & Ancient Stories - Hardcover

by Sarah Dunnigan (Introduction by), J. K. Jackson (Editor)
Scottish tales collected here are rooted in the lochs and highlands of the landscape.
Scottish folk and fairy tales are full of mischief and malevolence, with spirits and goblins, bogles, witches, kelpies and mer-folk lurking in every corner of the land, behind every tree and craggy rock at midnight. In these pages lurk the Fairy queen, and the Sith, or silent folk, who mingle with animals that speak of prophesy and lore, and enchantments that rule the twilight. Flame Tree Collector's Editions present the foundations of speculative fiction, authors, myths and tales without which the imaginative literature of the twentieth century would not exist, bringing the best, most influential and most fascinating works into a striking and collectable library. Each book features a new introduction and a Glossary of Terms.Author Biography
