Serendipity
Not so long ago, nomadic communities in Scotland told stories around campfires and slept in bow tents made of hazel and canvas. In this book, their culture is introduced through Cant’s vocabulary, a dialect spoken by Scottish travellers. Following them, Serendipity takes you to Helge’s Hole in Forres, Hermitage Forest in Dunkeld, and Glen Lyon in Perth, meandering through the valleys and cragged peaks of the Scottish Highlands, in a quest for Truth, Beauty and Goodness.
Dive into Scottish culture as the old grandmother, Julia, recounts to her granddaughter Gaia the tale of a little girl of pure heart. With love for nature, the story takes us to Titania’s court, the Queen of the People of Peace, to defeat the Giants of the Underworld and restore balance to the Land of the Young.
Maria de Fatima Santos
The author lives between Portugal and the United Kingdom. This is her debut book inspired by the Celtic culture, landscape and people of Scotland, where she lived for some years. Her profound interest to photograph the natural world and learn from it has been a seed of inspiration for writing poetry and childrens’ stories, aiming to pass on a message of love to protect our mother Earth. Maria is also deeply interested in regenerative agriculture, organic food, gardens and forests.
