This collection of Welsh legends and folk-tales, read and enjoyed for over forty years, is now being reissued for a new generation of readers. These spellbinding tales of love, loyalty, greed, and jealousy tell of a world where peasants and kings live alongside the folk of the faery, and where reality and enchantment intertwine. Things are not always quite what they seem--because when spirit and human worlds meet almost anything is possible. Retold by an author known for his storytelling skills, this anthology features a mixture of well-known and less-known myths.
