Description

Fairy stories are always delightful, but they gain an additional interest when they bear the stamp of the people among whom they circulated. This is certainly the case in Miss Grierson's book. Some, of course, are of the type common to most lands, but the majority are essentially Scottish. The writer has drawn them from all sources, folk-lore, minstrelsy, and legend; the place of honor being accorded to "Thomas the Rhymer." But much less well-known will soon be as popular among English children as they have long been with boys and girls north of the Border. The Scottish Fairy- Book. The Scotch, like the Irish, is rich in folklore and Celtic fairy tales, which are in many ways more 3 part of the foundations of our culture than those collected by the Brothers Grimm from German sources, and certainly are of more value than most modern fancies. These ancient legends, well adapted for children's reading, are now told in a simple form by Elizabeth W. Grierson. The volume is handsomely printed and tastefully illuminated and contains illustrations that catch the spirit of the text.
