4.0 out of 5 stars
Delightful and thorough,
By Barbara L. Pinzka "Book Friend" (Cincinnati, Ohio USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Scottish Fairy and Folk Tales (Paperback)
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.

This review is from: Scottish Fairy and Folk Tales: (Forgotten Books) (Paperback)
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...,
By "markdcampbell" (Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Scottish Fairy and Folk Tales (Paperback)
This is a terrific book.It is well put together and easy enough on the eyes. However, the native Scottish tongue can sometimes I enjoy it and read it every so often. It's a nice break from the old three bears byebye and stay safe! Peace and happiness, MC
