The classic folk tales of Scotland were passed down from
storyteller to storyteller, and from the first sentence they held
the attention of the listeners and readers as though a spell had
been cast over them, transporting them to a magical realm where
mermaids and men, selkies and sailors, ogres and princesses all
mingle and are miraculously transformed. First published in 1956,
the Montgomeries, distinguished folklorists, gathered these
captivating stories from all parts of Scotland. This collection
became a classic of the storytelling tradition retold in a simple,
dramatic style, appealing to adult and child alike. Now published
by Birlinn Limited in a handsome gift edition and illustrated with
Norah Montgomerie's own original drawings, it is a book to be
treasured for years as the key to an enchanted, timeless world.
