Why do we call such a collection Fairy Tales? Well, when last did you
hear a child say ‘One more folk tale please’ or 'Another nursery tale,
please, grandma'? Fairy tales are stories in which occurs something
'fairy', something extraordinary--fairies, giants, dwarfs, speaking
animals, or the hilarious yet remarkable stupidity of some of the
characters. Stories of fairy interaction with humans – where the kind
and thoughtful are blessed and the thoughtless and spiteful are punished.
This volume contains twenty-four such tales collected from around
Wales by P. H. Emerson whilst living in Anglesea during the winter
1891-2. In most cases he amended them as little as possible,
preferring to record the stories as told, staying true to the original,
so that the written story would enchant readers as though it were
being presented in the vernacular.
So take some time out and travel back to a period before television
and radio, a time when families would gather around a crackling and
spitting hearth and granddad or grandma or uncle or auntie would
delight and captivate the gathering with stories passed on to them
from their parents and grandparents from time immemorial.
Read the stories that made Wales Welsh.
A proportion of the profit from the sale of this book will be donated
to the Princes Trust for the education of the underprivileged in Wales.
