British Goblins: Welsh Folk-lore, Fairy Mythology, Legends and Traditions (1880)


For this week's Witchy Wednesday I found, on my internet travels, an online copy of 'British Goblins: Welsh Folk-lore, Fairy Mythology, Legends and Traditions' by Wirt Sikes.

Introduction as written on The Public Domain Review's website. 

In British Goblins (1880) Wirt Sikes, the United States consul to Cardiff from 1876 to 1883, describes the mythology and legends of Wales, a land steeped in folklore.
Considering its geographic focus, why the book is not simply called Welsh Goblins remains a mystery.) The first section of the book concerns the fairies, which are known as “y Tylwyth Teg” in Welsh, meaning the fair folk or family. They come in five varieties: Ellyllon (elves), Coblynau (mine fairies), Bwbachod (household fairies), Gwragedd Annwn (underwater fairies), and Gwyllion (mountain fairies).


To read the whole book for free please visit this link to The Public Domain Review website.

There are many other Folklore books available on The Public Domain Review website so it's worth a visit.
