"A love letter to the Welsh language... Ellis' detailed watercolor
illustrations are the main attraction, providing fresh artistic
representations to inspire a new generation of readers. Mythology
fans and art enthusiasts alike will enjoy this beautiful book." -
Booklist ''Packed with lore, history, and beautiful illustrations,
Welsh Monsters & Mythical Beasts is an indispensable registry
of everything that lurks in the shadows, glides just beneath the
surface, or goes bump in the night. I love it!'' - Todd Lockwood My
first thought upon seeing Welsh Monsters was "Goodness, what a
useful book!" -John Howe Upon the dramatic landscape of Wales there
have been born many creatures and beings of legend. This lushly
illustrated guide delves into the dragons, beasts, fair folk, and
spirits of Wales. Tales become blended and one with history, and
this history meets illustration with C.C.J. Ellis' rich renderings
of these creatures. Detail and colour lift these beings off the
page and bring this compendium to life. Now available worldwide,
this new edition includes a Welsh language guide so that each of
the creatures might be known by their original Welsh names. You may
have heard of the Red Dragon (Draig Goch) featured on the national
flag of Wales, but have you heard of the Water Leaper (Llamhigyn Y
Dwr) or of the Mary White (Mari Lwyd)? Ellis aims to re-introduce
the beasts of Welsh myth and legend to the world and bring a touch
of Wales to your shelves. Part of the Wool of Bat series focused on
the preservation and promotion of folklore and oral history from
around the world.
