Read a sample Read a sample
Being separate from the Scottish mainland, the Shetland Isles have a rich and unique tradition of folklore, from selkies to invading giants and Vikings. This book brings together many tales of the Isles, including The Boy Who Came from the Ground, and Norway's First Troll, among many others. This collection is sure to enthrall and entertain all, from for those who call the region home to anyone looking to experience the magic of Shetland for the first time. As a child, Lawrence Tulloch 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.
