About the Ebook
These stories are about the wee folk of Scotland, told afresh for everyone including, today's wee people. Collected here are stories from all over Scotland. Many were first published in the nineteenth and twentieth century, but all have been influenced by being told and retold, shaped and reshaped as they pass from storyteller to storyteller.
Whether you're introducing a wee bairn to these stories for the first time or you're not-so-wee and reading them to yourself, you'll find plenty to love in these charming Scots folk tales.
