"The Hound's Tale" by Neil MacArthur  Signed by the author.

Beautifully illustrated, this highly amusing and entertaining tale, set in the glens and Mountains of Rob Roy Country, tells of the unlikely friendship and adventures of a deerhound and a tree sparrow! This book appeals to all ages and sets the scene for further adventures to come.

“The Stones of Tir Nan Og” by Neil MacArthur   Signed by the author.

The second part of Neil MacArthur’s trilogy is a much more ambitious and challenging tale, both for readers, and for the two central characters, Luath the deerhound and Tuppence the tree sparrow. Whilst still retaining the humour of “The Hound’s Tale” in this story time changes mysteriously, and the ancient Celtic warrior worlds of the past merge with the present day. Literally, a fabulous tale.
