Meanwhile the political turmoil in the country is mirrored behind the walls of beautiful Fyvie Castle.

Download or read book WONDER TALES FROM SCOTTISH MYTH AND LEGEND 16 Wonder tales from Scottish Lore and Legend written by Anon E. Mouse and published by Abela Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2018-08-31 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The myths and legends of Scotland are full of what is called "local colour". They afford us not only glimpses of ancient times and of old habits of thought and life, but also of the country itself at different times of the year. Stories like that of Beira and the Bride of Spring. Because so many old stories were passed on orally by storytellers, with the advent of the industrial revolution printed books became more common and these stories became “lost” as less attended the once popular storytelling sessions. Then in 1870 the UK Education Act undertook to teach all children how to read and the art of storytelling all but died out altogether. However in this volume, Donald Mackenzie has saved 16 of these precious remnants of old Scotland and put them into print for us. The stories in this volume are: * Beira, Queen Of Winter * The Coming Of Angus And Bride * Combats That Never End * The Princess Of Land-Under-Waves * Nimble Men, Blue Men, And Green Ladies * Conall And The Thunder Hag * Story Of Finlay And The Giants * Heroes On The Green Isle * A Vision Of The Dead * The Story Of Michael Scott * In The Kingdom Of Seals * Story Of Thomas The Rhymer * The Maid-Of-The-Wave * Exiles From Fairyland * Friends And Foes Of Man * The Land Of Green Mountains The old people believed that somewhere to the West of Scotland, the spirit of Spring had its hiding-place, and they imagined this hiding-place to be a green floating island on which the sun always shone and flowers were always blooming. During the reign of Beira, Queen of Winter, the spirit of Spring, they thought, was always trying to visit Scotland, and they imagined that Beira raised the storms of January and February to prolong her reign by keeping the grass from growing. This volume is sure to keep you enchanted for hours, if only not because of the content, but because of their quality, and will have you and your young wards coming back for more. ============ TAGS: folklore, fairy tales, myths, legends, children’s stories, bedtime, fables, wonder tales, Scottish, scots, scotch, Scotland, myth, legend, Beira, Queen Of Winter, King, Coming of, Angus And Bride, Combats, Never End, Princess Land Under the Waves, Nimble Men, Blue Men, Green Ladies, lady, Conall, Thunder Hag, Finlay, Giants, Heroes, Green Isle, Vision Of The Dead, Michael Scott, story, Kingdom Of Seals, Thomas The Rhymer, Maid-Of-The-Wave, maiden, Exiles, Fairyland, Friend And Foe, Land, Green Mountains

Book excerpt: The PRICE OF INNOCENCE is a thought-provoking mystery thriller. It has been said that the sword of justice has no scabbard. Unfortunately, true justice is obscure. Legal systems can merely offer an opportunity for justice. No system designed by man can ever guarantee it. Sadly, the legal systems designed to protect us can be distorted and corrupted by malevolent human beings who misuse it not only to perpetrate the worst injustices, but also to create the illusion that they, the bad guys, hold the moral high ground. The PRICE OF INNOCENCE is the story of a prominent respectable man falsely accused of a monstrous crime by a group that calls itself Traction. Traction claims to be governed by a fearsome "green lady" who came from another universe. She allegedly possesses bizarre powers. Traction's purpose is to spread fear and destroy this man and others like him in order to annihilate the economic, legal and social system that they represent so that Traction can exhume wealth and power from the ashes of anarchy. There are a precious few willing to recognize the seriousness of their threat or to challenge it. Murdock McCabe, a station chief for Veritus Investigations International, wades into the maelstrom. He learns to his dismay that even innocence exacts its penalty.
