Beskrivning
I’ve always known where it is, and could show you the place, even in my sleep…Growing up in the wild Hebridean landscape, Peggy and her best friend Penny are inseparable, with the magical fairy knolls as constant in their lives as church or school. But as childhood passes, Peggy must learn to navigate the boundaries between the ordinary and the otherworldly, especially when the lines between myth and memory start to shift and change…Does anyone else remember like Peggy does?A spellbinding coming-of-age narrative, Peggy and the Fairy Knolls blends grounded emotional storytelling with Scottish folklore. It is a richly atmospheric novel that lingers long after reading.

Reviews for Donald and His Seven Cows:Angus Peter Campbell’s story is certainly a species of fiction, but the elements of history and folklore and cultural memory kept me interested to the end, and, increasingly, the strange atmosphere of the story put me under its spell.ANGUS MARTINAngus Peter Campbell has produced the most significant literary ethnography from out of the South Uist faerie hill in modern times...ALASTAIR McINTOSHIt’s a measure of the immense, quiet importance of this beautiful book, and of the culture in which it is rooted, that this is only a tiny fragment of the insight this remarkable, timeless character has to offer. JOYCE McMILLAN, The ScotsmanA clever, beautiful and important book. ROGER HUTCHINSON, West Highland Free PressPoetic and important, a modern classic.— SUND AY POSTDonald and his Seven Cows invokes folkloric parable to illuminate both the imaginal realm of spiritual life, and the impacts of modernity upon it. ALASTAIR McINTOSH , Theology in ScotlandA beyond-wonderful book. DR JOHN DEMPSTER , Inverness CourierA wonderful novel. NICHOLAS COLLOFF, Director, Argidius Foundation, GenevaAn absolutely brilliant read, but also a very illuminating insight into the Gaelic psyche. ROB MACNEACAILA marvel: an astounding piece of writing. Dr IAIN MACKINNON, Cultural Scholar, Isle of Skye
