Angus in song, story & screen

Alexander McCall Smith's novel, "Dream Angus: The Celtic God of Dreams," will make you think of Angus as a sparkling, youthful, vibrant character. "Dream Angus" is a lullaby you can find on Itunes by several artists; it is about someone reassuring their crying baby that Dream Angus is on his way to help them sleep by bringing dreams - of love and freedom, in the version I like best. Various sources also call Angus Og the god of humor and wisdom, rather than love and dreams.
