If stories come to you, care for them. And learn to give them away where they are needed. Sometimes a person needs a story more than food to stay alive. That is why we put these stories in each other’s memory.—Barry Lopez, from Crow and Weasel, 1990.

Folklore, Legends, and Fairy Tales of Irish and Scottish Bagpipers
Selected and Edited by Joanne Asala
Storytelling has always played an important role in the Celtic way of life, an entertainment as old as the race itself. Folklore, Legends, and Fairy Tales of Irish and Scottish Bagpipers is a collection of historical memoirs and fanciful folktales of pipers in Ireland, Scotland, and Appalachian America. It will take you from the Battlefields of France to the Fairy Caves below the earth, from duels with the devil to piper-eating cows, from smugglers to Jacobite rebels. Originally published in a limited edition as Whistling Jigs to the Moon: Tales of Irish and Scottish Pipers, this completely revised and expanded assortment of tales is a treasure trove for any folklorist, and indeed, for any who enjoy bagpipes or a good story.
