Description
John Rhys, the Oxford Celtic scholar, gathered this two part set of Welsh and Manx folk lore, printed in 1901. He drew on tales told to him and on notes sent from Wales and the Isle of Man. His aim was to save folk belief before it faded.
The pages hold fairy tales, ghost lore, well rites, and tales of folk heroes. Rhys traced marks of the old Celtic faith in what the folk still did and said. The set is a rich store for any reader drawn to Wales and Man.
