Scottish Folk and Fairy Tales

Gordon Jarvie
(Puffin Classics)
978-0140351408, RRP £3.99, Mass Market Paperback
5-8 Infant/Junior
Buy "Scottish Folk And Fairy Tales (Puffin Classics)" on Amazon

An enjoyable collection, peopled with brownies, selkies, kelpies, giants and fairies. Well-known tales and ballad adaptations such as 'Tam Lin' and 'Thomas the Rhymer' are combined with more recent additions from John Buchan and Alasdair MacLean. Fluent readers will be able to cope with the lot, including the substantial Victorian story by Andrew Lang, 'The Gold of Fairnilee'; for the less confident, or for reading aloud, there are plenty of shorter tales to sample.
