An Illustrated Treasury of Scottish Folk and Fairy Tales is a beautifully illustrated hardbound collection published by Floris Books. Suitable for ages 4 to 10, this 160-page edition features timeless Scottish stories presented in an engaging format ideal for preschool to grade 2 readers.
Slithering stoorworms, mischievious brownies, fierce kelpies and magical selkies — these are the creatures of Scottish folklore.
Award-winning children’s author Theresa Breslin has collected the best-loved tales from all over Scotland. Retelling each in its own individual style, she presents funny tales, moving tales and enchanting fairy tales. Soar with the goshawk, dive with selkies and battle with the stoorworm, as each story is brought to life with exquisite illustrations by Scottish fine artist Kate Leiper, which brim with otherworldly beauty.
A wonderful gift, this is a truly stunning book to be treasured for a lifetime and will be enjoyed by parents and grandparents as well as children.
