Fakta

In "British Goblins: Welsh Folk-lore, Fairy Mythology, Legends and Traditions," Wirt Sikes meticulously compiles a rich tapestry of Welsh folklore, seamlessly blending mythical narratives with ethnographic observations. Written in a narrative style that bridges the gap between scholarly analysis and enchanting storytelling, Sikes presents an exhaustive exploration of goblins, fairies, and the myriad supernatural beings embedded within Welsh culture. His work is significant not only for its detailed collections of legends but also for its historical context, starting from the Victorian fascination with folklore and mythology, giving readers an insight into the cultural psyche of 19th-century Britain. Wirt Sikes, an American journalist and folklorist, was deeply influenced by his time residing in Wales, where he immersed himself in local customs and traditions. His background in literature and journalism equipped him with the skills to present complex folklore in an accessible manner, while his keen interest in the anthropological aspects of storytelling enabled him to explore the deeper meanings behind these myths. Sikes' personal experiences and affinity for the mystical elements of Welsh heritage fueled his desire to document these ephemeral traditions for posterity. This book is recommended for readers with an interest in folklore, mythology, and cultural studies. Sikes'Äô vivid illustrations of Welsh supernatural entities and his thorough examination of the stories woven through the fabric of Welsh life make this volume an essential read for anyone wishing to explore the enchanting and diverse world of British legends. It serves as both a scholarly resource and an invitation to delve into the hauntingly beautiful realm of Welsh folklore.
