For book club, though I bought this book last February in Scotland! I skipped the poems because they were all written in what I assume is phonetic Scottish and I simply did not stand a chance. I liked the first story, the story about the lonely giant, the water kelpie story and the one about the old lady near the end. I could crack open the book and write the titles but I’m too tired.

A fun and enlightening first foray into Scottish fairy tales.
Loved “The Magic Walking Stick” and “The Lonely Giant.”

Ich wette, dass es da draußen noch weitaus schönere Sammlungen schottischer Märchen und Volkssagen geben muss, denn diese Anthologie war eher eine Enttäuschung. Es gab leider nur ein paar wenige Geschichten, die mir gut gefallen haben, während der Rest langweilig und/oder schlecht geschrieben war.
