Tales become blended and one with history, and this history meets illustration with C.C.J. Ellis' lush illustrations of these creatures. Detail and colour lift these beings off the page and bring this compendium to life. Now available worldwide, this new edition includes a Welsh language guide so that each of the creatures might be known by their original Welsh names. You may have heard of the Red Dragon (Ddraig Goch) featured on the national flag of Wales, but have you heard of the Water Leaper (Llamhigyn Y Dŵr) or of the Mary White (Mari Lwyd)? With this book, Ellis aims to re-introduce the beasts of Welsh myth and legend to the world and bring a touch of Wales to your shelves. Part of the Wool of Bat series focused on the preservation and promotion of folklore and oral history from around the world."--- Subjects: Folklore.; Myths.; Folk tales.; Illustrated works.; Mythology, Welsh.; Folklore; Monsters; Animals;
