Folk Tales of the Scottish Highlands: Volume 2 - Of Lost Shoes, Lost Senses, and Lost Loves (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798329040777)

For a thousand years and more, the tough beauty of the Scottish Highlands has dared storytellers to fashion the heroes and sagas fit for such a place. In the stories that follow, marvelous warriors battle ancient monsters; angry giants quake the earth with their stride; love and longing curl tenuously around tragedy; and desperate ingenuity untangles the tightest of Gordian knots.

This second volume of Scottish Highland folk tales, adapted, edited, and introduced by Prof Clayton MacKenzie from J F Campbell's Popular Tales of the West Highlands (1860-62), offers further jewels of oral narrative. It presents a remarkable, accessible, and sometimes humorous record of the grand imaginings of ordinary people who lived hundreds of years ago.

Prof Clayton MacKenzie holds a PhD in Literature from Glasgow University. He has led major academic units at universities in the UK, Australia, Hong Kong, and the Middle East. His more than 80 publications have appeared in presses and journals of international reputation. Prof MacKenzie is married with 4 grown-up children.
