Farmers, shepherds, and cottagers share accounts of the Tylwyth Teg, ghosts, omens, holy wells, and witches. Their stories bring you close to a country life where, in local belief, the unseen world sits beside the everyday.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOwen listens as schools, railways, and changing habits reach the hills and old ways begin to fade. He mostly lets his informants speak, adding few opinions of his own. This collection moves from fairy lore to haunted roads, from warnings of death to the charms people turn to when illness or fear enters the home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInside this book\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFairies close to home\u003c\/strong\u003e – Meet the Tylwyth Teg, beings believed to inhabit hills, lakes, and green hollows.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpirits on the road\u003c\/strong\u003e – Explore accounts of ghosts and spirit dogs that make familiar paths feel strange.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLights that carry warnings\u003c\/strong\u003e – Discover the corpse candle and the place of death omens in Welsh belief.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWells, charms, and witches\u003c\/strong\u003e – See how people seek healing and protection through wells, offerings, and household charms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry voices worth hearing\u003c\/strong\u003e – Listen to traditions recorded from ordinary people as their ways of life change.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect for lovers of folklore, Welsh history, local customs, and winter-fire tales, as well as writers and students of fairy lore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpen the first page and step into the tales and beliefs of the Welsh hills.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Library of Alexandria Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59534617346396,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/9442\/8764\/files\/04159_en_ebook-front_c26.jpg?v=1792174964","url":"https:\/\/libraryofalexandria.com\/da\/products\/welsh-folk-lore","provider":"The Library of Alexandria","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
