A Celtic Cloak Tale Excerpt from The Magic Cloak © 2000 by Award Winning Scottish Children's Author T.E. Watson FSA SCOT Supplied with permission from the author. Celtic legend has it that a beautiful, mysterious lady had to steal away into a misty moonlit night to flee execution by an enemies blade. She was able to escape safely by covering herself with a magical cloak which gave her the gift of invisibility. She made it back to her kingdom where she told her plight to her Brother the King. He then asked how she escaped, and she told the tale of her magical cloak of invisibility. The King called the very best seamstresses of the land, to make exactly, more of the mystical cloaks. He commanded that they make enough for the entire army of the kingdom. A call to arms of all his armies went out and,with the help of his Sister's directions, went to attack the enemy. The King's army attacked at dawn. The enemy forces were stunned. They could hear an army, but all they could see were columns of horses with what seemed to be ghostly riders. Upright Cloaks holding sword and lance with nobody wearing them. The enemy quickly retreated, screaming with fear, and were never seen again. |
