  The Scottish Fairy Book

  Performed by STEVEN CREE - star of Outlander and A Discovery of Witches, amongst many leading movie credits.A collection of 28 Scottish fairy tales, perfect for children (and adults) of all ages. 
  Fairy Tales. Fantastic Fictions. Myths & Legends…these are what may be called “Celtic Stories,” which were handed down for centuries by word of mouth by professional story-tellers, who went about from clachan to clachan in the “Highlands and Islands,” earning a night’s shelter by giving a night’s entertainment. 
  These stories (which are also common to the North of Ireland), are wild and fantastic, with every flavour of Scotland throughout. They tell of heroes and heroines who set out on dangerous quests, giants and monsters, fairy folk and other mythical creatures, strange other-lands and mysterious meetings. They have a peculiar Celtic fascination of their own and they are quite distinct from the more traditional (Grim style) Fairy Tales. 
  These tales, in Scotland, have also a character of their own, for there is no country where the existence of Spirits and Goblins has been so implicitly believed in, up to a comparatively recent date. 
  Traditional Scottish fairy/folk tales, as collected and edited by Elizabeth W Grierson and originally published in 1910.
