Gerda Stevenson: Cat Wumman

Join Gerda Stevenson on Friday 21st November at 7pm as we celebrate the publication of her latest vibrant collection of short stories told in Scots, , in which she breaths fresh life into traditional songs, ballads and tales from Scotland and beyond.

From the Mississippi swamps to the shores of the Mediterranean, these reimagined stories blend the supernatural with modern life, offering readers an unforgettable mix of folklore and contemporary narrative. Stevenson, an acclaimed writer, actor, and singer of Scottish ballads, infuses each tale with the same lyrical richness that inspires her wider creative work. Perfect for lovers of Scottish culture, fans of folklore and those passionate about storytelling in its many forms, Cat Wumman is a celebration of Scotland’s linguistic and cultural heritage. It’s a must-read for anyone seeking bold, imaginative narratives rooted in the magic of oral tradition.
