The short stories in this volume deal with Scott's favorite themes: the Highlands and Lowlands of Scotland, historical change, the supernatural, and language. From the stark tragedy of "The Two Drovers" to the chilling and comic portrayal of the supernatural in "Wandering Willie's Tale," these stories provide a natural starting point for those unacquainted with Scott's work as well as those who love his novels.
