Description
Celtic Folklore by John Rhys is a two-volume work that explores the rich traditions and customs of the Celtic people. First published in 1901, this collection of Welsh folk tales offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives and legends of the ancient Celts. The author's extensive research and fieldwork are evident throughout the book, as he shares his sources and provides English translations of the stories. Volume 1 delves into the world of folklore, while later chapters examine the Isle of Man and Welsh legends associated with wells. Rhys's preface provides a unique insight into the challenges of collecting folk tales, including the difficulties of working with fragmentary evidence and the hostility of some towards 'superstition'. This book is an important contribution to the field of Celtic studies, offering a wealth of information on the culture, history, and mythology of the Celts.
