Hardcover.  

Good condition in hardcover with good dw. Inscription on the ffep.

180 pages. Size: 8vo

Elisabeth Sheppard-Jones, a born story-teller, has selected forty of Scotland's traditional folk-tales, many of them unfamiliar, and retold them with a verve and grace that captures entirely both their essentially Scottish feeling and that blend of humour and mystery that is part of their unique enchantment. Here are tales of practical tailors, crafty millers, lovely maidens and noble kings into whose lives come the fairy folk: gnomes and kelpies, brownies, witches, warlocks, mermaids--to help or to hinder or to be themselves cunningly outwitted. Gay and touching, these are stories from a rich heritage to delight all those, of whatever age, who read them or hear them read aloud.
