The island is full of stories, and Tormod hears them everywhere-at home, at school, and from Ruairidh next door. There are stories about Roman legions and enchanted tweed coats and men carried off by brutal pressgangs and self-proclaimed bards who would steal a song right out of your mouth. And then there are the stories he isn't supposed to hear, and maybe one of them will explain a few things that puzzle him, like why he doesn't have a father. Stories can change with every telling, and a little boy's innocence can't last forever. Am Balach Beag a dh'Eisteadh aig Dorsan agus na chuala e (The Little Boy who Listened at Doors and what he heard) explores the power of stories and the motives of people who tell them.
