The magical world of Welsh mythology deserves to be better known
outside its homeland, with its cast of heroes and tricksters,
animals that can talk and change shape, and magicians and witches
who can bring disaster or triumph to the people in their paths.
Enchanted Wales is an invitation to voyage through the key stories
of Welsh mythic literature, exploring not just their medieval texts
but also their ancient roots, which can be glimpsed in sculptures,
carvings and other artefacts from at least a thousand years
earlier. These stories are more than epic entertainments: they
allow us to explore our deepest questions about life and death, war
and peace, and good and evil, secure in the knowledge that a
skilful storyteller will guide us safely to the end of the tale. On
this journey, you will encounter severed heads that speak, birds
that can tell the future, cauldrons with magical properties, quests
that are as intricate and exciting as the Labours of Hercules, and
ghostly underworlds where strange and frightening things happen to
the humans who visit them. Enter these pages, and prepare to
discover a weird, wonderful and Narnia-like world of dreams – the
world of enchanted Wales.
