SHETLAND FOLK TALES (HB)

Shetland has a rich and unique tradition of folklore, full of intriguing characters such as Vikings, selkies and invading giants. This book brings together many tales of the archipelago, including The Boy Who Came from the Ground, and Norway's First Troll. As a child, the author learned many folk tales from his father Tom, a tradition bearer whose folklore was collected by the School of Scottish Studies. As a storyteller, Lawrence collected even more tales and this book contains many favourites - some you may recognise, but with a Shetland twist.
