HEATHER AND BROOM

The forcefulness of the Celtic imagination is felt in these stories of magic and romance from Scotland. A poetic appreciation of the Scottish language, of lordly traditions, and of the warrior spirit are reflected in these tales, which unlike many other collections of fairy stories do not instantly suggest counterparts from other countries. All the ingredients of beautiful princesses, sea deities, wicked necromancers are here, and something a little extra, the wistful scent of heather and broom.
