Scottish Folk & Fairy Tales by Sarah Dunnigan
A gorgeous Collector's Edition of Scottish folk and fairy tales full of mischief, with spirits and goblins, bogles, witches, kelpies and mer-folk lurking behind every tree and craggy rock at midnight. In these pages the Fairy queen and the silent folk mingle with animals that speak of prophesy and lore, and enchantments that rule the twilight.Dr. Sarah Dunnigan (Introduction) teaches and writes about Scotland’s medieval and renaissance literature, early women writers, ballads, fairy tales and children’s literature. She has edited Violet Jacob’s fairy tale collection, The Golden Heart (1904) and has written about mermaids in Scottish Romantic writing; the Grimms and Scotland; J.M. Barrie, children and the Gothic; and female enchanters in Scottish folklore and literature. With Shu-Fang Lai, she edited The Land of Story Books: Scottish Children’s Literature in the Long Nineteenth Century (2019), and she is currently writing a book about fairies in the Scottish literary imagination.
Jake Jackson (General Editor) has written, edited and contributed to over 20 books. Related works include studies of Babylonian creation myths, the philosophy of time and William Blake's use of mythology in his visionary literature.
