These stories are wild. These stories are magic. Maybe it’s wrong to try and trap them in a book. Maybe you should set them free and tell them. Some of these stories are strange and sad, some are a bit scary and some are a bit mad. The ancestors liked them, that is why they passed them down to us. Read them, tell them, and pass them on! These stories—specially chosen to be enjoyed by 7-11 year old readers—sparkle with magic and explode with adventure. As old as the mountains and the sea, they are freshly re-made for today’s readers by Scottish storyteller Lea Taylor.
