About this listen

George Brisbane Scott Douglas (1856-1935), the Scottish poet and writer, published the book Scottish Fairy and Folk Tales in 1901. The literary genres of the book include comic, literary, nursery, and animal stories plus fairy tales of mythic creatures like the brownies, bogles, kelpies, and mermaids.

Classified, tabulated, and scientifically labelled, these imaginative narratives are related in vernacular language, and have a timeless appeal to adults and children alike. Amongst the most popular stories are "The Fox’s Stratagem", "The Bee and the Mouse", "The Farmer's Wife of Deloraine", "The Witches of Delnabo", and "The Brazen Brogues".

Probably enchanting

The further into the book, the more complex the language became and the more difficult either to hear the words or understand the narrator.By the end of the book, whole passages were indecipherable.l only stuck with it because there was a lyricism and a magical quality to the narrators tone and pace which was helpful when l was trying to sleep.
lam sure this is a captivating collection of tales, but it was all a bit wasted on me.................
