The Anthology of Scottish Folk Tales
by Donald Smith
This is a well researched and wonderfully put together collection of folk tales from all over Scotland that really highlight and showcase how the different areas of the country have such vastly different stories connected to them.
I’ve always wanted to know more about the folklore of the British Isles and this seemed like a really accessible place to start. Each of the regions folk tales are narrated by someone who hails from that region so there is an air of authority and authenticity as you read through them that you might not get otherwise.
I would be interested to see if there were other books in a similar series as this is a good way of being introduced to a topic that you don’t know a lot about.
