Delightful and thorough
8 Jan 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I gave this book to my Scottish partner as a holiday gift in 2010 and he loved it. It's a literal reprint (old-fashioned type and all) of the original 110-yo book, fully footnoted, explained and documented. Nevertheless, George Douglas retains enough love for his subject to retell these classic and lost tales with engaging, virtuoso skill.

Scottish Fiary and Folk Tales: (Forgotten Books)
2 Aug 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I was doing a research paper on Scottish folk tales. I was surprised at the lack of materials in the public and academic libraries. I went to Amazon to frantically search for a book to help in my research. This book not only had the wonderful folk tales I was searching for; it also had information on the history of Scottish folklore. Great book for folk tales.

Scottsman and his Tales...
27 Sep 2001
Format:Paperback
This is a terrific book.
It is well put together and easy enough on the eyes.
However, the native Scottish tongue can sometimes
be difficult to translate in some of the tales.
I enjoy it and read it every so often.
It's a nice break from the old three bears
and a great way to get back to my heritage!
byebye and stay safe! Peace and happiness, MC
