Scotland's rich and vibrant folklore traditions have influenced many of the country's artists, writers, and songwriters. Giants, witches, little people, heroes, wizards, enchanted nature, sacred stones, and ghosts are all featured in this handy volume. This compact 160-page paperback distills stories from the four regions of the country, and writer Raymond Lamont-Brown, an expert on Scottish culture, explains how the landscape and history have shaped these tales, as well as how folkloric traditions survive in modern urban settings. Â
