Overview

The dragons have slept. But they are not dead. Wales is a land where ancient magic is carved directly into the stone. From the mist-shrouded peaks of Snowdonia to the deep, silent pine forests of Powys and the storm-battered cliffs of Pembrokeshire, the line between bloody true history and terrifying folklore is invisible. In a country that produced the legends of King Arthur, the wizard Merlin, and the Mabinogion, the landscape was never empty; it was guarded by shape-shifting goblins, water monsters, and massive, sleeping giants. In Myths and Legends of Wales, you will step away from the tourist trails and journey into the darkest, most enduring tales of the Celtic world. This captivating collection explores the ancient mythology, cryptids, and dark historical events that shaped the fiercely proud and superstitious Welsh soul. Step into the mist and discover: The Massacre of the Druids: The brutal, blood-soaked true history and lingering, terrifying echoes of the Roman slaughter on the Isle of Anglesey. The Afanc of Snowdonia: The dark, shape-shifting water monster that dragged ancient villagers into the freezing, pitch-black glacial lakes. The Sunken Hundred: The epic ""Welsh Atlantis"" mythology of a rich kingdom swallowed by Cardigan Bay, where phantom bells still ring beneath the waves. The Mari Lwyd: The bizarre, terrifying midwinter tradition of the skeletal horse skull that roams the Valleys demanding entry into homes. Perfect for fans of Celtic mythology, British history, and dark folklore, this book pulls back the veil on the deepest, most enchanting myths of the Welsh landscape. Tread carefully in the valleys. You never know what is waiting in the dark.
