Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a collection of old tales originating in the Scottish Borders and associated with the lives of shepherds working throughout the region. In addition to recounting the stories themselves, many of which have been passed down only verbally through generations, the author provides commentary and information on the historical, literary and social context that produced them. The tales themselves often revolve around themes of adventure, romance, and the supernatural, common to many folk tales, and are presented within the rich cultural background of the Scottish Borders during the 18th and 19th centuries. The author has collected these stories through firsthand accounts from the storytellers preserving them both as cultural artifacts and as simple, well-told tales in their own right. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330796955_0
