A young girl, abandoned in the ancient Caledonian forest seeks refuge in the arms of a hill walker, or so it seems to the casual observer. A River Sprite seeks solace in the arms of a human, as her world is disappearing. A moon-child creeps from her Holt beneath an ancient tree, scenting the night air, and is enveloped in the world of humans. The man who fell in love with death, who no longer wishes to live but cannot die tells his tale. Goats that debate in shady glens at night discuss revolution, Wolves that are men and men who are wolves wonder of their purpose in life. True love remains eternal in the worthiest of sad tales. These new Faerie and folk tales, of Scotland, from the pen of Raymond Walker, Author of "A River of Tears" and "The Secret Inside" embody the living soul of Scots folk and faerie tales. Enchanting, beautiful, haunting and timeless. Never have I read of such beauty as I have here. The innocence reverberates in every tale. Beautiful. Robert Anderson. Author of "Elizabeth"
About the Author: Raymond Walker is well known for his very unusual, almost homely, romantic fantasy tales such as "The River Girls Torment" and "A Shiver" as well as the award winning "Moonchild and Other Tales" which have been hugely successful. In 2005 he published his first Ghost Story "A Pale Shadow Creeps" which has a more adult theme and followed it up with the horror novel; "The Secret Inside" to great critical acclaim. His restlessly original and imaginative stories may be unusual and darkly romantic but he considers himself very ordinary. He loves the countryside, the forests and the relics of his native Scotland. He loves that he rose from a land steeped in history, myth and fantasy. It can be seen in almost every tale that he has ever told or written. Raymond Walker is the winner of several writing competitions and his books have received critical acclaim worldwide. Mr Walker is devoting his time to a new epic novel called "And The Sea shall give up It's Dead" The first volume of which has the tentative title of "Over the Tears of the Fallen" In the meantime expect to hear shortly of a novella called "The Crow's feather" and a new novel "Winters Ghost" that seems to be a success even before being truly completed with advance orders pouring in. Many authors and groups like his writings and he could easily add a number of recommendations here but he always feels uncomfortable doing so.
