"Fact or Fiction?" looks at different interpretations of these tales and what may be the reality behind the mythology that has inspired artists and writers throughout the centuries.

It helps achieve goals of Scottish Standard Curriculum 5-14. It fits into Key Stage 2 English and is an ideal text for shared and guided reading for Key Stage 2 pupils.
