Strange Visitor

Renita Boyle

In a cottage in the woods on a cold, dark night an old woman sat by the fireside. She rocked and rocked and sipped her tea and wished she had some company. The wind blew. The door creaked. In came…, …the twitchy tale of a wily old woman, wide eyed cat, wild weather and the weird appearance of a very strange visitor. A traditional Scots Tale re-told in English and Scots.
