About the book

In «The Laird's Luck and Other Fireside Tales,» Arthur Quiller-Couch presents a captivating collection of stories steeped in the rich traditions of Scottish folklore. With a mastery of narrative style, Quiller-Couch intertwines elements of romance, adventure, and moral dilemmas, all wrapped in lyrical prose that echoes the oral tales of yore. The stories reflect the early 20th-century literary context, showcasing a transitional phase from Victorian sensibilities to a more modern, introspective approach to storytelling, while simultaneously celebrating the rugged beauty and culture of the Scottish Highlands. Arthur Quiller-Couch, a prominent literary figure, was deeply influenced by his Cornish heritage and academic background, which fostered a passion for folklore and storytelling. He was known for his belief in the power of tales to impart moral lessons and nurture a sense of community. Drawing from both personal experiences and the literary canon, Quiller-Couch crafted these tales as a homage to the enduring spirit of the Scottish people, reflecting their trials, triumphs, and deep connection to the land. For readers who relish immersive storytelling that transports them to distant lands and epochs, «The Laird's Luck and Other Fireside Tales» is an essential addition to their literary repertoire. It beckons those with a fondness for folklore, rich characterization, and a touch of moral inquiry to gather around its literary fireside.
