Scottish Fairy and Folk Tales by George Douglas

Description

Scottish Fairy and Folk Tales is a book by George Douglas, first published in 1900. This collected volume gathers scores of tales drawn from Scotland’s oral tradition — nursery stories, animal fables, vivid fairy-lore and witchcraft accounts — and presents them in a form readable for modern audiences while keeping the flavour of the original voice. The collection showcases familiar Scottish folk figures (brownies, bogles, kelpies, mermen) alongside comic and literary pieces, giving readers a wide-ranging taste of the country’s popular storytelling. Steeped in the late-Victorian / Edwardian appetite for antiquarian collecting, the book sits at the crossroads between scholarly preservation and popular entertainment: it records rural belief and everyday wonder at a moment when those traditions were shifting under modernization. For readers interested in Celtic folklore, Scottish legends, fairy tales, and historical folk belief, this volume is a compact and searchable gateway to the themes and characters that shaped popular Scottish storytelling into the twentieth century.
