Folklore of Wales

Ross has previously written explored topics that straddle the line between history and legend in Celtic Britain. Here she synthesizes academic work and collections of stories to present an overview of Welsh oral traditions ranging from the calendar and severed heads, to grail legends and supernatural birds and animals. The monochrome illustrations are not particularly high quality, but include many not seen in similar works. The book is distributed in the US by Arcadia. Annotation c.
