The Wee Scot Book: Scottish Poems and Stories

by Aileen Campbell

Book Overview

"Stories, poems, and songs well known to many of Scottish heritage . . . will be enjoyed by all ages." -Children's Literature

Gather around, children, for these are stories told of the world of the Highlands and stone castles. Here the blow of the bagpipes ushers in the sheep from the hills and sailors on the coast. And in the dreamy night, fairies scurry about, and the sandman, Angus, sells dreams to the little ones. This is a real place called Scotland, and here in this book are the poems and stories of its children.

Filled with lullabies, folk tales, and playful rhymes, The Wee Scot Book: Scottish Poems and Stories is an open invitation to youngsters worldwide to join the Scots at playtime. These are authentic songs and tales from the Scottish childhood of author and illustrator Aileen Campbell. She combines fascinating English text with verses from the old Scots' language. She also illustrates each spread with a delightful watercolor, sometimes highlighting the landscapes of the Highlands and Lowlands of Scotland.
