This collection of stories contains three classic fairy
tales from Argyll - Spiorad
na h-Aoise (The Spirit of the Age), Iolaire Loch Trèig (The
Eagle of Loch Treig) and Bean-taighe
Mhath 's Obair-oidhche (The Good Housewife and a
Night's Work). Find out if the youngest brother has any more
luck than the others, if the Eagle of Loch Treig is
indeed the world's oldest being; and if the poor housewife
manages to rid herself of the pesky fairies she accidentally
called upon.
A re-print of an old book of fairy tales that has been
fully re-typeset and the colour illustrations digitally
cleaned. The spelling has been updated slightly and footnotes
(in Gaelic) explaining obscure words have been added but other
than that, the book remains as it was.
The only completely new part is the sound recording
which you can download and listen to the stories being told by
a native speaker of Argyll Gaelic. Let yourself be entranced
by a dialect that is rarely heard today.
