West Highland Tales - Softcover
In the Highlands, the seannachie, or bard, occupied an honored place in the household of every clan chief. The stories they told, passed down over the centuries, retain their vivid sharpness to this day.
In this book, Fitzroy Maclean assumes the role of storyteller in a collection of favorite stories from his native land, ranging from the thousand-year-old Dierdre of the Sorrows to tales of warriors, treacherous love, ghosts, and spirits.
