4.9/5 (17561 ratings)

Description:The Other Country is the secret country of legends and fairy tales. Its inhabitants do not like to be watched and they do not like to have their names known or spoken - so they are called The Good People, The Other People, The People of Peace.The tales and legends of the Other Country have been kept alive down the years by the strong memories of storytellers, until the time when they could be collected and written down in books. This collection is all from Scotland, from the Highlands and from the Borders. Here, besides the Other People themselves, are monsters and kings, princesses and witches, giants, kind animals and brave heroes and heroines. As Marion Lochhead says, ‘A good tale is worth retelling in new words’. She finds much to delight her in the old tales and her enthusiasm for them shines through in her versions of them.TABLE OF CONTENTS:RashiecoatThe Hoodie CrowThe Kingdom of the Green MountainsHabetrotThe Young King of Easaidh RuadhThe Black Bull of NorrowayThomas the RhymerThe Lady and the Elf KnightWhuppity StourieThe Queen of Elfland’s NursePrincess Ian Direach and his QuestThe Two HerdsmenKing Orfeo and his QueenTam LinThe King of Albainn and the Big LadThe Witch of FifeKilkennyThe Wise Woman of Duntulum Colonel MacNeill’s BrownieThe Red Etin The Sea MaidenThe Good Housewife- - Four Historians of the Other Country:- Robert Kirk- James Hogg, the Ettrick Shepherd- Robert Chambers- John Francis CampbellWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
