Fionn Cycle: A loose collection of tales originating in Scotland,
Ireland and the Isle of Man which surround hunter-warrior leader
Fionn, his band of men and his poet son, Ossian. Old Grey Magician:
A mystical, morally ambivalent figure who appears throughout Celtic
mythology; in Ireland he is the Dark Druid, and often he appears as
a seabird. The shapeshifting sorcerer is a thorn in Fionn’s side,
solving impossible problems but always asking too much in return.
George W Macpherson has been telling the traditional tales of Fionn
and the Fianna for years, artfully drawing in audiences with his
storytelling talent. Gathered from sources all over the country and
occasionally beyond, and collected here for the first time, the Old
Grey Magician’s exploits offer a fascinating insight into the
traditions of Scotland and the development of oral storytelling.
Introduced and situated in physical and literary history by Donald
Smith, this collection reminds us of the importance of retaining
the stories that shaped us.
