Angus MacLellan, a renowned Gaelic storyteller, has compiled a remarkable collection of tales from South Uist, Scotland. These stories encompass a wide range of genres, from Fingalian heroes and ghost stories to international folktales and humorous local anecdotes. The stories, translated by John Lorne Campbell, a renowned Celtic Scholar, are captivating for their narrative power and their connections to myths and legends from Ireland, Scandinavia, France, and Greece. South Uist, an island in the Hebrides, was one of the last places in Western Europe where the ancient art of storytelling was still honored and practiced, and the translations reflect the oral tradition at their source. The style of these translations is original and hypnotic, making them a valuable addition to the literature of Gaelic storytelling.
