Book Description

Excerpt from Welsh Legends: A Collection of Popular Oral Tales There is hardly any Traveller in Wales, who has not heard, at least, of the titles of some of those an cient traditionary tales, which every grandmother, on a cold winter even ing, repeats to her grandchildren, sitting round the blazing hearth. Whether.they ever had the curiosity to listen to these wonderful, terror striking relations is a matter of doubt - their works being entirely silent on the subject. It is not in the well-built vhouse, -nor from the well-informed inhabitant of Wales, thatsuch stories can be learnt; it is in the thatched cottage, among, we might say, the primitive Welsh, who have carefully preserved and trans mitted from generation to genera.
