Subtitled, ‘Myth and Magic in Welsh Storytelling,’ this book brings to life the vibrant world of the Welsh storytelling tradition dating back to the Middle Ages when many of these tales were first recorded.
This is an accessible introduction to the numerous supernatural themes and motifs that commonly appear in Welsh storytelling, providing the reader with an insightful overview of the tradition. Beginning with an introduction to how these stories originated and were shared, the structure of this book then divides into chapters covering subjects from ‘Gods and Heroes’ to ‘Mythscapes and Deep Roots.’ Wood cut illustrations provide visual representations of characters and key moments throughout the text. Further reading is provided at the end of the book to facilitate deeper research.
