A red and white dragon fighting tooth and claw in the moonlit sky;
mischievous fairy folk luring unwary travellers deep into their
underground lairs; a kind-hearted mermaid saving the lives of those
in peril on the high seas; and a charmed boy who transforms into an
otter and a bird to outrun a wicked witch. In Illustrated Tales of
Wales, author Mark Rees explores the fantastical myths, legends and
folk stories of Wales which have long fired the imagination of
young and old alike. From the medieval tales of the Mabinogion to
those rooted firmly in Arthurian mythology, they range from the
quirky to the macabre and tell of heroic pets, strange
superstitions, devious devils and restless spirits. Wales is home
to mighty giants which live on the highest mountains and battle to
the death with King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. It
has a patron saint of hares, who created a safe haven for humans
and animals alike, and a patron saint of love, whose idyllic island
became a place of pilgrimage. It has a water horse which has been
known to give those who mount it the ride of their lives, and the
unforgettable Mari Lwyd, one of the world's more unusual
Christmastime traditions in which an eerie horse-skulled visitor
goes door-to-door in the dead of night. Illustrated Tales of Wales
offers an engaging and different look at Wales, with this
alternative tour through the country's peculiar past.
