Reviews

[Carrie Brownell · Rating 4 out of 5]

Having nothing whatsoever to compare this book to, I'd say that it is very good and also enjoyable. The illustrations leave a little to be desired, but for a collection of short stories, this book makes a good introduction to Scottish Fairy Tales. I read this book aloud to our kids and everyone enjoyed it.

[Hope Irvin Marston · Rating 2 out of 5]

I almost stopped reading after the first story because of the pedestrian writing style. The other stories kept my attention so I read on. Though I have great interest in Scotland and have been there twice, perhaps I don't have enough Scots blood in my vein to appreciate these stories.

Not a fan of the Dover Children's Thrift Classics. Low quality. And I mean the stories not the paper and pictures, which are also low quality. Of the ones I bought this one had the better stories, but still not great at all.
