Description

Blue Men with magic sea hoods? Kelpies that build bridges in the blink of an eye? Water horses, vengeful smiths, foolish travellers, ghosts, and harbingers of doom? The Celtic folk imagination yields up a host of weird and wonderful water monsters, showcased here in six inventive and fast-paced short stories. You won't find Nessie in here, but many of her relatives make an appearance, often with deadly results...This is the first in the 'Blue Men, Green Women' series, which is designed to bring to life the peasant folklore of Scotland and Ireland, the beliefs of the country people, that were recorded by antiquarians in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These tales are not the courtly sagas of great heroes and druids, but the accounts of ordinary folk, and their fateful meetings with the strange fairy creatures that lurked in every loch, and on every lonely mountainside. Other books in the series will include: vol 2 - The Green Woman of Kittlerumpit (witches)vol 3 - The Black Dog of Troller's Gill (animal spirits)vol 4 - The Grey Man and the Lighthouse (ghosts) vol 5 - The White Tower of Eriskay (seers)vol 6 - The Redcap of Nine-Stane Rigg (tricksters)The series is designed for readers 13 and up. Some of the stories contain horror, and may not be suitable for younger readers. S.J. (Steve) Mckenzie is an author based in Adelaide, South Australia.
