The Battle of the Birds information


Illustration by Arthur Rackham, from The Allies Fairy Book from 1916. The king's son asks the giant for his youngest daughter's hand in marriage.

The Battle of the Birds is a Scottish fairy tale collected by John Francis Campbell in his Popular Tales of the West Highlands. He recorded it in 1859 from a fisherman near Inverary, John Mackenzie and was, at the time, building dykes on the Ardkinglas estate.[1] Joseph Jacobs took it from there for his Celtic Fairy Tales and added some additional elements.

It is also included in The Lilac Fairy Book by Andrew Lang and A Book of British Fairy Tales by Alan Garner.
