Hamish and the Fairy Gifts (Kelpies) - Softcover

'I think I'd like to meet Hamish. Traditional, fairy magic in short stories with a charming contemporary feel. I loved reading these, and I think you will too. Not just for children.' -- Jill Marshall, Reading Matters (www.readingmatters.co.uk) 'The seven to 10-year-old reader will simply love the adventures of Hamish and his friends. The illustrated stories in lovely Scottish surroundings rattle along with much humour.' -- Greenock Telegraph, June 2005 'Written with panache and humour, Hamish and the Fairy Gifts is delightful entertainment.' -- Childrens Books of the Year 'A beautifully crafted book.' -- Books for Keeps

Hamish laughs when his old mother talks about the Wee Folk and all their mischief-making. Until, that is, his baby son disappears. So begin Hamish's adventures, which include encounters with seal-people, a sad bogle, hungry fairies and cantankerous witches. These are five delightful, funny stories, all showcasing Moira Miller's characteristic wit.
