Anotace knihy

Excerpt from Domestic Manners of Sir Walter Scott Few parts of Scotland have been more glorified by the Muses than has the Ettrick Forest, with its twin streams, the Ettrick and the Yarrow. Wherever the English language is spoken or its literature read will Wordsworth's "Yarrow Revisited" be prized; wherever Lowland Scots is sung will the sorrows of Ettrick, made desolate by Flodden, find a voice in "The Floo'rs o' the Forest." Among its round and grassy hills, hiding in its bosky dells, the Queen of Faery has held her court, nay, held converse with men whose memory was yet fresh in the beginning of hist century. At the middle of the century preceding, witches and warlocks, wraiths and warnings, were common, and elves and brownies far from rare. It was the chosen home of ballad poetry, especially that of the weird and mysterious sort. Some of the most romantic figures in Scottish history have been connected with Selkirkshire in critical points in their career. After his victory of Stirling Bridge, Wallace met the notables of Scotland in St. Mary's Kirk, and was chosen by them Guardian of the Realm.
