The first in a series of Seasonal Folklore collections by Scottish storyteller Eileen Budd. A collection of Scottish Spring stories to accompany nature’s reawakening.

In the Spring collection, discover: Tales of the Cailleach, Scotland’s mother goddess, who wields the power of frost and snow; The legends of the cuckoo, whose spring return could bring good or ill for the coming year; And myths of the mysterious stones once believed to be portals between worlds; and more. Seasonal Folklore by Eileen Budd is a collection of Scottish stories, passed down through her family, and shared with you each season, to mark the cycles of nature.
