Peggy and the Fairy Knolls

About the Book: 

I’ve always known where it is, and could show you the place, even in my sleep…

Growing up in the wild Hebridean landscape, Peggy and her best friend Penny are inseparable, with the magical fairy knolls as constant in their lives as church or school. But as childhood passes, Peggy must learn to navigate the boundaries between the ordinary and the otherworldly, especially when the lines between myth and memory start to shift and change…

Does anyone else remember like Peggy does?

A spellbinding coming-of-age narrative, Peggy and the Fairy Knolls blends grounded emotional storytelling with Scottish folklore. It is a richly atmospheric novel that lingers long after reading.

Reviews for Donald and His Seven Cows:

Angus Peter Campbell’s story is certainly a species of fiction, but the elements of history and folklore and cultural memory kept me interested to the end, and, increasingly, the strange atmosphere of the story put me under its spell. ANGUS MARTIN

Angus Peter Campbell has produced the most significant literary ethnography from out of the South Uist faerie hill in modern times... ALASTAIR McINTOSH
