Many visitors to the Fairy Sculpture Trail have been greeted by Ossian, the gentle Irish Wolfhound who sits near the gift shop, accepting pats and admiration in equal measure. With a twinkle in his eye, Bill often explains that Ossian arrived one day through a fairy portal on the trail itself—and simply decided to stay. Since then, he has become the beloved mascot of Island Folk Pottery.
This past winter, inspired by the magic of the trail, Bill illustrated a new book of fairy tales—narrated by Ossian himself. Heather brought the stories to life with words and arrangement, weaving together Bill’s imaginative art and Ossian’s whimsical voice.
The book is now available in the Pottery Gift Shop and on Amazon. Come take a piece of the magic home with you!
