The Orkney Islands are a place of mystery and magic, where the past
and the present meet, ancient standing stones walk and burial
mounds are the home of the trows. Orkney Folk Tales walks the
reader across invisible islands that are home to fin folk and
mermaids, and seals that are often far more than they appear to be.
Here Orkney witches raise storms and predict the outcome of
battles, ghosts seek revenge and the Devil sits in the rafters of
St Magnus Cathedral, taking notes! Using ancient tales told by the
firesides of the Picts and Vikings, storyteller Tom Muir takes the
reader on a magical journey where he reveals how the islands were
created from the teeth of a monster, how a giant built lochs and
hills in his greed for fertile land, and how the waves are
controlled by the hand of a goddess.
