Description

Aberdeenshire Folk Tales by Grace Banks and Sheena Blackhall is a collection of stories that bring to life the rich folklore of the north-east. Drawing on Celtic and Pictish origins, these tales feature witches, selkies, smugglers, fairies, monsters, and more. Set against the stunning backdrop of Aberdeenshire's landscape, from the silver city to its rolling countryside and rugged coastline, these stories are woven together by two skilled storytellers. Historical fact and myth blend seamlessly in this collection, with tales that have been passed down through generations. The authors' inspiration comes from a renowned traveller and raconteur, Stanley Robertson, whose storytelling and singing style has influenced their own approach. With a range of characters, events, and themes, Aberdeenshire Folk Tales offers a captivating glimpse into the region's cultural heritage. The stories within this book are bound together by a shared sense of place and tradition, making it a fascinating read for anyone interested in folklore, history, or the natural beauty of Aberdeenshire.
