Produktinformationen zu „King And The Lamp (ePub)“
Introduced by Barbara McDermittThe telling of tales and the oral tradition in Scotland has long and honourable history, both in the annals of the folk and in the more formal pages of literary publication. Writers as different as Hogg, Scott, Stevenson, Cunninghame Graham, Buchan, Grassic Gibbon and Alasdair Gray have all drawn on the form or the voice or the features of the folk tale. Duncan Williamson, arguably the greatest traditional tale teller in modern times, is a master of this spellbinding art, and here in a single volume Linda Williamson has gathered together some of the most memorable tales in his repertoire. Transcribed from recorded sessions for the sound archives of the School of Scottish Studies, these twenty-six stories give us privileged access to the travellers' fireside with stories of talking animals; of the broonie, selkies and fairies; of cunning Jack's adventures; of kings and giants in long tales for the winter nights. 'An extraordinary collection of stories.' The Scotsman'Exemplary and delightful . . . [Williamson] is the inheritor of a rich and vital oral tradition . . . and is recognised as a master narrator.' Times Educational Supplement' . . . the bearer of the richest oral tradition in Europe.' Herald
