Produced by Suzanne Lybarger, Emille and the Booksmiths at http://www.eBookForge.net "Red Cap Tales, Stolen from the Treasure Chest of the Wizard of the North" by S. R. Crockett is a collection of retellings of classic stories, primarily from the works of Sir Walter Scott, written in the early 20th century. The book seeks to engage a new generation of readers, particularly children, by recounting tales from Scottish history and folklore in a more accessible and entertaining manner. It is introduced through a personal narrative that reflects the author's desire to reawaken interest in Scott's original works. At the start of the collection, the narrator recounts a visit to Dryburgh Abbey with four children who are skeptical of reading Scott's novels. Their whimsical discussions reveal their struggle to connect with the literature of the past, leading the narrator to offer a series of stories drawn from Scott's works to intrigue their imaginations. This introduction sets the stage for an assortment of stories featuring Captain Edward Waverley, enchanting castles, and various characters woven into the tapestry of Scottish history. As the narrative unfolds, it explores themes of adventure, identity, and personal connections to the legends of Scotland. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
