Jackson From the myths it shares with Ireland, to its own evocative fairy tales featuring all manner of spirits, shapeshifters, monsters and ghosts; from benevolent fairies (The Brownie) to tales of unrequited love, murder and rescue (A Legend of Invershin), Scottish folklore is presented here in a uniquely Caledonian collection of stories. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description From the myths it shares with Ireland, to its own evocative fairy tales featuring all manner of water spirits, selkies, sea monsters and fairies; from legends of witchcraft (The Brownie) to ghostly tales of the dead arisen (MacPhail of Usinnis), Scottish mythology is presented here in a uniquely Caledonian collection of stories. Much of Scottish mythology was imported by settlers arriving from across the Irish Sea, and so Scottish mythology in large part shares its characters and tales with the mythology of Ireland, from the Ulster Cycle featuring Conchobar mac Nessa, king of Ulster, and the great hero Cuchulainn, to the adventures of Fionn mac Cumhaill. But Scotland also possesses its own folklore and tales featuring kings, water spirits, selkies, sea monsters and fairies, not to mention some Arthurian myths native to this land. From legends of witchcraft such as The Brownie, to ghostly tales of the dead arisen (MacPhail of Usinnis), this entertaining collection gathers the ancient myths and fairy tales featuring all manner of creatures into a uniquely Caledonian set of stories.
