British Goblins - Welsh Folk-lore, Fairy Mythology, Legends and
Traditions. British Goblins does a good job at its stated purpose -
collecting and loosely categorizing Welsh Folklore of every
category, ranging from the reasons behind certain customs and
superstitions of daily life, to descriptions and associated stories
of various faeries, goblins, and giants, to descriptions of
apparitions and the view of the afterlife, to more fantastic
things, like dragons, standing stones, and magic wells and stones.
Although a somewhat anecdotal approach is taken, the author has in
fact preserved a good deal of information that might have otherwise
been lost.

1881. In a certain sense Wales may be spoken of as the cradle of
fairy legend. It is not now disputed that from the Welsh were
borrowed many of the first subjects of composition in the
literature of all the cultivated peoples of Europe. In the ground
it covers, while this volume deals especially with Wales, and still
more especially with South Wales, where there appear to have been
human dwellers long before North Wales was peopled, it also
includes the border counties, notably Monmouthshire. Illustrated.
Contents: The Realm of Fairy; The Spirit World; Quaint Old Customs;
Bells, Wells, Stones and Wagons.
