Review # 1 was written on 2013-05-03 00:00:00 M. De Nooij I FINALLY finished this!! This was a nice collection of folk tales. I loved how their was a glossary for some of the Scots words the reader may not understand. But I've come to the realization that thought I love, in general, fairy tale retellings and themes, I don't get much enjoyment when reading original fairy tales, Hans Christian Andersen excluded. I'm glad I actually read this collection, though, and it was a lovely souvenir of Scotland.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-02-16 00:00:00 Dale Diede Once there was a lad who didn't do what he was told. He got into a drinking contest with Finn McCool, who I always thought was Irish, but what do I know, passed out and Finn stole his money. When he woke up there was a pretty girl watching him. She asked him why he was crying. He told her. She said she was the king's daughter and if he would slay the evil dog who was terrorizing the village she would marry him. Six falcons, a witch, a purse of gold and a giant toad later, the lad and the king's daughter are married in the old tower and live happily for two weeks until another evil dog shows up. Don't ask me. My ancestors were Jacobites and left Scotland and settled in Belgium hundreds of years ago.
