Tales from East Lothian retold for children by a professional storyteller

East Lothian's landscape has mysterious and intriguing stories sewn into it. This collection of tales has witches and wizards, magical creatures and eerie happenings. There are dragons, faeries, ghosts and selkies. You will be whispered secrets by an ancient tree, discover why the Skeleton Boy made his home in Hanging Rock Cave, and how a rat became more than just a rat. With specially selected stories for the enjoyment of 7- to 11-year-old readers, there is something to delight and amuse in every tale.
