Description
Elias Owen's study of Welsh folklore is a rich and engaging exploration of the country's folk tales and legends. First chosen as winner of the National Eisteddfod in 1887, this revised edition was published in 1896 and offers a wealth of information on fairies, ghosts, devils, changelings, birds, beasts, spells, charms and cures from northern Wales. This book is an ideal companion to other works on Welsh folklore, such as Wirt Sikes's British Goblins, and provides a fascinating introduction to the folk tales and traditions of Wales. It is part of the Cockatrice Books' Welsh Folklore series, which celebrates the rich folk heritage of Wales through fiction, translation and scholarship. With its blend of scholarship and personal recollection, Owen's work offers a unique insight into the folklore of northern Wales, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in this aspect of Welsh culture.
