Description

While some stories were recorded early on, the bulk of Welsh folk tales, myths, and legends have survived through the tellings and retellings of the common people. Whether sung to a baby in its crib or shared at a nosweithiau llawen ("merry evening," similar to a céilidh, filled with music, dancing and storytelling), the folk tales of Wales reflect the creative spirit, traditions, and culture of the Cymry, as the Welsh people are known. In 1920, Bernard Henderson and Stephen Jones published a number of such stories in Wonder Tales of Ancient Wales, many of which were transcribed into English for the first time.
