4.0 out of 5 stars Scottsman and his Tales..., September 27, 2001

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
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

3.0 out of 5 stars not bad, May 4, 2000

This review is from: Scottish Fairy and Folk Tales (Paperback)

This is a collection of nice, rather original tales. I especially liked those about brownies. However, in my opinion Russian folk tales are really the best.
