Place reservation for The Devil & the giro : two centuries of Scottish storiesThe Scottish story has its roots in an oral tradition where stories were told to entertain. The Devil and the giro includes stories from all the major Scottish writers both famous and unsung. The anthology encompasses many examples of the themes in which Scottish writers have always excelled, most notably in that archetypal twinning of opposites where the ordinary meets the fantastic, man encounters the Devil, or the real and supernatural converge. This is the stuff of ancient storytellers and the tradition has persisted to this day where the hard reality of urban existence still involves coming to terms with life and death.
