Scottish Myths and Legends (Waverley Scottish Classics)

Very well-written and easy to read. A wonderful collection of stories, very interesting. The book is quite unique in its nature and I am greatful to the author for putting it together. It is just so easy to read and understand. No fluff, no fuss, just good stories well-told

Good starter book on the subject.

I purchased this book when I was back in Scotland in 2010 and have just re-read some of the stories, which has prompted this review. Scotland is a land full of myths and legends of witches, merfolk and monsters and this book does a good job in recounting tales that have been passed down the generations. The book is split into section including witches, heroes and fair maids, legendary figures and visitors to the fairy realm and is a delightful collection of stories to read just for fun.

Arrived extremely quickly .Numerous stories grouped under headings eg tales of the sea. ,monsters on land and in water .Good big writing .Stylish writing for titles .Have only read first story yet which is not suitable for children ..Really pleased .Fantastic for Halloween reading .Enjoyable .

C'était un cadeau pour ma femme qui était ravie

This was a gift for my grandson's 18th birthday...as he is going to Edinburgh for spring break (another gift)I thought he would appreciate ....I took the liberty to read it and throughly enjoyed the stories and could visualise very well...worth every penny..

This is a comprehensive set of myths and legends, but they are very simply written with no embellishment or character.
