The Story Teller

 

The pupils at George Heriot’s thought the ‘Legend of Greyfriars Bobby’ was first class.

 

Isobel sang like a linty, kept the bairns spellbound with her tale o' the wee dug, while Brian answered a stack of questions before marching the pupils back to their classrooms at the double. I was fair proud of both of them.

 

The ‘Evening News’ and the ‘East Lothian Courier’ featured the Robert Louis Stevenson project, so we’re keeping our paws crossed that it won’t be long till donations start coming in to set the statue up.

 

The Long John Silver Trust down at Bristol is running a similar project to set up a statue of the sailor wi' the widden leg and the parrot in the port. The Trust have a first class website which is worth checking out if you're a Robert Louis Stevenson fan:  www.longjohnsilvertrust.co.uk

 

This week’s photograph was sent in by Maria Rosa Furbelli who lives in Italy with her dog Lapo. In addition to being an animal lover, Maria Rosa is interested in legends of fairies, elves and mermaids from all over the world and writes fascinating books on the subject.
