Mollie Hunter

Mollie Hunter is, as I see her, Scotland's finest storyteller. I chose her for my bookwraith because her books sit on the library shelves gathering dust. Her books run the age gamut of children's fantasy to historical fiction for adults. Her fantasy books are rooted in Celtic folklore and the historical books bring to life Scotland's past. A Sound of Chariots and I'll Go My Own Way are my favorite young adult books. What are yours? Check them out at your library or they will be discarded and disappear into a Highland mist.

Makars

King James I belongs to a group of poets called Makars and described as Scots Chaucerians. This description is often criticized as denying the original nature of their poetry. These poets from Scotland were also influenced by earlier poets from Scotland like Barbour and also the courtly literature of France.
Since James Fenimore Cooper, Washington Irving and Nathaniel Hawthorne were influenced by Sir Walter Scott, perhaps they could be categorized as American Waverleys. ?
