Book description
Duncan MacKinnon is an ordinary fisherman who lives in a croft by
the sea. Everything is going swimmingly well for him, until one day
a mysterious stranger knocks at his door . . .
This story is a magic bean. It may not look much like a bean, but I
can promise you that it is. For if you plant it in a young mind, it
will grow into a love of story and reading. These beans are favourite
fairytales and legends that will delight, thrill and thoroughly
entertain. Each story has been brilliantly crafted by one of the
best-loved writers for children.
This story was published by David Fickling Books as part of the
Magic Beans anthology. The complete anthology is available in hardback
and in ebook format.
