      The magic of the stories in this book is very powerful, and in the hands of a master storyteller they have the freshness of stories told for the first time. There are traditional tales of great beauty, such as "Tam Lin" and "MacCodrum of the Seals"; exciting adventures--"The Adventures of IainDireach" and "The Ailp King's Children"; and shrewd, simple fables like "The Fox" and "The Little Bannock", all of which will delight small children.
