Across the mountains, valleys, mines, and lonely roads of Wales, old stories tell of a hidden world moving alongside the human one.In British Goblins: Welsh Folk-Lore, Fairy Mythology, Legends and Traditions, Wirt Sikes gathers a rich body of Welsh supernatural belief: fairies, goblins, household spirits, spectral apparitions, haunted places, enchanted beings, omens, witches, and strange creatures drawn from oral tradition and local legend.More than a collection of curious tales, the book preserves the folklore of communities in which the supernatural was woven into everyday life. Sikes records beliefs about fairy realms, death portents, magical customs, ghostly encounters, and the mysterious powers said to inhabit the Welsh landscape.Atmospheric, strange, and deeply rooted in Celtic tradition, British Goblins offers a vivid journey into the darker and more enchanted side of Welsh folklore, where legend, superstition, and memory meet.
