Tales of Scotland, adventure, heros, and magic
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
The eight Scottish fairy tales contained in this paperback are delightful adventures. Virtues such as loyalty, honesty, and wisdom are the characteristics of even the least of heros. This Dover edition, first published in 1997, is a new selection of fairy tales from *Wonder Tales from Scottish Myth and Legend,* originally published by Frederick A. Stokes Co., New York, in 1917. John Green provides illustrations specifically for this edition. The tales are: "Battle of the Fairy Kings," "The Princess of Land-under-Waves," "Conall and the Thunder Hag," "The Story of Finlay and the Giants," "The Story of Michael Scott," "In the Kingdom of Seals," "The Maid-of-the-Wave," and "The Land of Green Mountains." This is indeed an excellent read.
