内容説明

This anthology contains twenty-two excellent stories written by Scots during the last century and a half. From simple fireside tales to precisely crafted art-forms, from tales of the city to rural idylls, this collection exhibits the full range of Scottish writing. Classic authors such as Sir Walter Scott, Robert Louis Stevenson, and John Buchan appear alongside Eric Linklater, Fred Urquhart, and Dorothy K. Haynes. From these stories it is clear that the Scots are a historically minded people with a strong sense of the changing flow of time and a deep feeling for the eerie and supernatural. 'This series of short stories is the bargain of the century. Snap them up while you can.' Daily Mail
