Across the lush, emerald green mountains and through the
alphabet, the ABCs of Scotland are explored in beautiful
rhyme, imagery, and history. A stands for Saint Andrew's
Day, named for the brother of St. Peter and the patron
saint of Scotland. I is for Iona, the ancient burial ground
and abbey that holds the remains of early kings of
Scotland, such as Macbeth and Donald II.
Accompanied by illustrations that capture the beauty of
Scotland, Irish folk musician Rickey E. Pittman educates
readers to the legendary Scottish way of life in clever
rhymes that will entertain readers of all ages. He
describes the ceilidh, a special gathering where people
sing, dance, and tell stories, and includes histories of
influential people, such as Mary, Queen of Scots, and
Robert the Bruce. The book includes a glossary of important terms and
provides pronunciation to native words such as sgian dubh
and sporran. Filled with Scottish knowledge and spirit,
SCOTTISH ALPHABET is a great addition to any library or
home.
