Beskrivning
Being separate from the Scottish mainland, the Shetland Isles have a rich and unique tradition of folklore, from selkies to invading giants and Vikings.This book brings together many tales of the Isles, including The Boy Who Came from the Ground, and Norway’s First Troll, among many others. This collection is sure to enthrall and entertain all, from for those who call the region home to anyone looking to experience the magic of Shetland for the first time.As a child, Lawrence Tulloch learned many folk tales from his father Tom, a tradition bearer whose folklore was collected by the School of Scottish Studies. As a storyteller, Lawrence collected even more tales and this book contains many favourites – some you may recognise, but with a Shetland twist.

Mer om författaren

LAWRENCE TULLOCH was born in North Yell in 1942 and was introduced to storytelling by his aunt and his father. His interest in folklore led to him making several radio broadcasts, and he wrote for magazines and local papers. He had four books published and left two written but not published when he sadly passed away in February 2017. As a storyteller he travelled extensively, to Washington USA, the Faroe Islands, Sweden, Norway, Slovenia, Ireland and Orkney, and he participated in several Scottish festivals including the International Storytelling Festival in Edinburgh and Celtic Connections in Glasgow. He recorded two tapes of stories and had them remastered to CDs. He enjoyed telling stories and loved the audience reaction which always left a twinkle in his eye.
