Description

All over the world, traditional tales were told at the fireside until their place came to be taken by books, newspapers, radio, and television. Scottish Traditional Tales by A.J. Bruford and D.A. MacDonald presents an entertaining collection of the oral tales that have been passed down by generations of Scottish storytellers. These tales have been recorded and collected by researchers from the School of Scottish Studies at the University of Edinburgh over the past fifty years.

With almost a hundred tales, this collection is the most wide-ranging introduction available on this fascinating part of Scotland's heritage.
