Produktbeschreibung

Scottish tales collected here are rooted in the lochs and highlands of the landscape.

Scottish folk and fairy tales are full of mischief and malevolence, with spirits and goblins, bogles, witches, kelpies and mer-folk lurking in every corner of the land, behind every tree and craggy rock at midnight. In these pages lurk the Fairy queen, and the Sith, or silent folk, who mingle with animals that speak of prophesy and lore, and enchantments that rule the twilight.

Flame Tree Collector's Editions present the foundations of speculative fiction, authors, myths and tales without which the imaginative literature of the twentieth century would not exist, bringing the best, most influential and most fascinating works into a striking and collectable library. Each book features a new introduction and a Glossary of Terms.

This story jumps on the current mythology trend (see Madeline Miller's books!) and is a loose retelling of an old British murder ballad called The Twa Sisters .
It is set in an ancient British kingdom abandoned by the Romans and in constant fear of attack by the Saxons. Three Sisters are trying to come to terms with their identity and their own magic, which is threatened by the advent of Christianity. The focus is set on the different paths the sisters decide to take and the tragedies that result thereof.
Of the three sisters Keyne is my favorite - I rooted for her all through the plot. Who is yours?!
Die Bücher, die Benjamin Lacombe illustriert sind Meisterwerke. Anders kann man es nicht sagen. Er versteht es, Geschichten in so zauberhafte und gleichzeitig düstere Gewänder zu kleiden, dass man aus dem Staunen nicht mehr herauskommt. Auch "Alice im Wunderland", das schon so oft und so unterschiedlich in Szene gesetzt wurde, erscheint unter seiner Feder noch einmal neu und unglaublich originell. Ein Muss für alle Fans besonderer Illustrationen ab 9.
