Description
Scottish Folk & Fairy Tales collects tales rooted in the lochs and highlands of the Scottish landscape. These folk and fairy tales are full of mischief and malevolence, with spirits and goblins, bogies, witches, kelpies, and mer-folk lurking in every corner of the land, behind every tree and craggy rock at midnight.
In these pages, the Fairy queen, and the Sith, or silent folk, mingle with animals that speak of prophecy and lore, alongside enchantments that rule the twilight.
