Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Donald John Maclennan was born in a traditional blackhouse in the village of Dalmore on the west coast of the Isle of Lewis in The Outer Hebrides. The history of Dalmore and his childhood reminiscences of the village were recounted in his book Dalmore - Tales of a Lewis Village. In this delightful new book Donald continues his boyhood reminiscences but this time through the eyes of the many animals that lived on the crofts of Dalmore and those that came to visit. The Tales thus become Tails! Through characters such as Soho and Rupie, the croft cats, and Stowlia, the wise and faithful sheepdog, we are transported to Dalmore in the years just after the Second World War when the traditional crofting ways of the Isle of Lewis were still very much alive. What comes through in these stories is an age of innocence now almost forgotten. Iain Shoudie is the man who brings the stories together, the man who could talk to the animals. He was the Dr. Doolittle of Dalmore and through his conversations with his many friends the adventure and excitement of living in the old village of Dalmore and of wandering round the Isle of Lewis in bygone times comes alive once more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Western Isles Folk Tales is a representative collection of stories from the geographical span of the long chain of islands known as the Outer Hebrides. Some are well-known tales and others have been sought out by the author, but all are retold in the natural voice of a local man. You will find premonitions, accounts of uncanny events and mythical beings, such as the blue men of the stream who test mariners venturing into the tidal currents around the Shiant Islands. Also included are tales from islands now uninhabited, like the archipelago of St Kilda, in contrast to the witty yarns from bustling harbours. The author was the inaugural winner of the Robert Louis Stevenson Fellowship (1995) and his Acts of Trust collaboration with visual artist Christine Morrison won the multi-arts category in the first British Awards for Storytelling Excellence (2012). Both author and illustrator live in Stornoway, Isle of Lewis.

Book excerpt: A rich, sultry, ambitious novel about a young American writer/curator, fleeing a crumbling marriage in New York who travels with her nine-year old daughter to one of the remote islands in the north of Scotland, birthplace of her grandfather. Commissioned to set up a museum there and to write the biography of the island's celebrated poet and chronicler, Mhairi McPhail is slowly drawn in by the complicated life she is uncovering and writing about--the Bard of Fascaray--as she finds herself being transformed, awakened by the ferocity and power of the island. Who was the celebrated poet, Grigor McWatt, The Bard of Fascaray? What was his past? Details of his life are elusive. As Mhairi struggles to adapt to her island life and put her disappointment and troubles behind her, she begins to unearth the astonishing secret history of the poet, regarded by many as the custodian of Fascaray's--and Scotland's--soul. In McAfee's rich novel of invented island life, she interweaves extracts from Mhairi's journal entries, her discoveries and writings of McWatt, and tales of Fascaray itself into a resonant, compelling, dimensional narrative that at its heart explores identity, love, belonging and the universal quest for home.
