A nation rich with superstitions and storytellers, Scotland has a grand tradition of folk and fairy tales, and this collection provides an insight into the curses, blessings and creatures - both widely recognisable and peculiarly Scottish - that populate it. It includes the great Scottish writers and collectors of fables, from Robert Burns' supernatural masterpiece 'Tam o' Shanter' in which a man interrupts a midnight dance of witches; Arthur Conan Doyle's 'Through the Veil', a glimpse across lives previously lived; and the classic Victorian fairy tale 'The Gold of Fairnilee' in which fairies are both an excuse for cowardice and a real, sometimes sinister presence; as well as tales by John Buchan, Robert Louis Stevenson and James Hogg, among others.
Gordon Jarvie lives at Crail in Fife. An established editor, author and poet, his most recent collection appears in The Tale of the Crail Whale. Edited by Gordon Jarvie.
