Description

A collection of Scottish coastal folk tales. 'The sea is in our blood and our stories.' Sea monsters, mermaids, shipwrecks and old wives' tales abound in this collection of traditional folk tales retold by master storyteller Tom Muir. Gathered from the towns, villages and wild places that lie on the edge of the land, these tales reflect the ancient wisdom of living by the sea. All sorts of stories have grown from our fascination with the unknown depths of the sea and the mysteries it can bring. Developed over time and passed down through telling, these old stories are very much still alive to enjoy today. AUTHOR: Tom Muir is a professional storyteller who was born and raised in the Orkney Islands on a small farm by the sea. He has worked in the field of archaeology and at the Orkney Museum, where he writes exhibitions and advises and appears on TV programmes, radio, newspapers and magazines. He is a well-travelled storyteller and has authored many books on folk tales and history, and he runs the Orkney Storytelling Festival. 30 b/w illustrations
