George MacPherson is a storyteller who has told his tales in France, Germany, Spain, Malta, England, Bali, Thailand and Australia.
"George Macpherson is a delight to listen to. His Highland voice is clear, his delivery well paced, with timely and adroit use of pauses. He sometimes uses his voice brilliantly to dramatise conflicting characters (as in The Worthy Blacksmith where he alternates between the blacksmith and the savage Water Horse), or to show characters’ different ages, as in Crippled Norman…I found the stories and their delivery riveting to listen to, and they gave me much to reflect on for hours afterwards, including the beauty of the Highland landscape, and the wonderful values, such as the generosity, honour, courtesy and endurance permeating Fionn and Grainne or the love and loyalty in The Swans on the Loch.
Though it is never preachy, throughout the collection emerges a sense of reverence for all creatures, and a sense of interdependence – that your kind and just acts result in others helping you. I will also introduce my pupils to this collection, hoping they will share my pleasure".............Barbara Imrie Musical Traditions
