Jack and the Devil's purse : Scottish traveller tales

Williamson, Duncan, 1928-20072011
Books, Manuscripts
Devil stories are always fascinating, entertaining and disturbing. These 20 tales, re-told by one of Scotland's master storytellers, are a fascinating insight into traveller beliefs about evil, temptation and suffering in which the Devil exists not to punish, but to outwit you in a contest of intelligence and knowledge.
