Coorie doon : a Scottish lullaby story
Kay, Jackie, 1961-2025
Book
Every night, Shona is tucked into bed by her loving parents, who sing her old and familiar folk songs: Tiree Love Song; Goodnight, Irene and Will Ye Go, Lassie, Go? And as Shona sleeps, we follow the people and places that drift into her dream world: her best 'fiere', Ali, her dog, Marley, her cat, Flo. Then, years later, we meet Shona when she is sixty - actually sixty years old! - as she tucks her daddy, now an old man, into bed. And it is her turn to sing to him: 'Coorie Doon, Coorie Doon, wee Daddy'.
