Wirt Sikes's 1881 tome defines and records Welsh fairy legends as
they existed -- still vital, alive, not just a mordant mythology
but living folklore in that year. Like many texts of the time, it
treats the subject mechanically, detailing fairy legends with such
care and precision as to leach away a measuyre of the magic. But
all the same, there's plenty of magic here: this is the myth that
modern fasntasy grows from; and the truth is that it's not to be
found elsewhere still alive. (Jacketless library hardcover.)
