It is divided into easily navigated chapters, focusing first on the stories from Scotland and Ireland, then venturing into the rest of the British Isles. The benefit here is that I have all of those stories plus others in one handy place. I had already found many of these stories in my own research. ![]() Beyond this, Rachel has also taken a look at stories from other parts of Europe which have either a similarity in name or in legend that could possibly be a hint that The Cailleach had an importance across the continent and not just in the Isles. Rachel Patterson has found stories about The Cailleach from around the British Isles. Finally, at the beginning of August it was released and I had a copy in hand.įor all the build up, I have not been disappointed. ![]() So, I kept my eyes open and when it became available for pre-order I made sure to get my order in. ![]()
