The Coddy was one of the most renowned storytellers and characters
of the Western Isles at the turn of the nineteenth into the
twentieth and beyond, and was the inspiration for Compton
MacKenzie's Whisky Galore. His warmth and personality shine through
these stories, which are a wonderful mix of myth, tradition and
anecdote. This edition includes a large number of traditional tales
told in the inimitable style of The Coddy, grouped in a number of
themed sections: Tales of the Macneils of Barra and Other Lairds -
The MacLeods of Dunvegan - The Laird of Boisdale - Stories of Olden
Times - Ecclesiastical Traditions - Place-names - Tales of Treasure
- Tales of Local Characters - Stories of the Politician - Stories
of Sea Monsters - Fairies, Second Sight and Ghost Stories -
Witchcraft. For any student of folklore, for anyone interested in
the traditions and history of the islands, or for anyone who simply
likes a tale well told, The Coddy is essential reading. This
edition is enhanced with a plate section consisting of period
photographs of the Western Isles and informative notes on The Coddy
and his stories.
