"William Sharp (12 September 1855 - 12 December 1905) was a Scottish writer, of poetry and literary biography in particular, who from 1893 wrote also as Fiona MacLeod, a pseudonym kept almost secret during his lifetime."--Wikipedia June 2011. ""To you, dear friend, let me dedicate this bindweed of thoughts and dreams, which had their life by the grey shores you, also, love ..." This is how Macleod began the timeless work, a compilation of lore from the land that fashioned him, his race, and his faith. In this volume, the master storyteller retells the ancient tales that have long been forgotten by his people, and lost in the annals of several thousand years of history. He resurrects such tales as:"The Wayfarer", "The Lords of Wisdom", "Cuilidh Mhoire", "The Lynn of Dreams", "Maya", and"The Awakening of Angus Og" and many more. If your ancestry is Irish-Gaelic, this book is a "must-read" for you. It is full of reminscing and an underlying, deep sorrow of a forgotten culture which is dying in the minds of its own people."--Amazon.com customer review (B. Kehler).
