Whuppity Stoorie

This charming Scottish folktale has elements of the classic Rumpelstiltskin. When Kate's mother makes a deal with the fairy who promises to heal the family's prized pig, Grumphie, Kate is the prize unless her mother can come up with the fairy's name. The illustrations complement the text with soft muted colors and traditional renditions of the Scottish countryside. A nice addition to collections for lovers of fairy tales and folklore.
