The Folklore of Wales: Ghosts | Delyth Badder, Mark Norman

2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read

An intriguing and comprehensive selection of ghost stories from Wales. Welsh folklore is well known throughout Wales and beyond, yet little is known about its extensive collection of paranormal texts. The Folklore of Wales: Ghosts is a vast wealth of ghost stories that includes fantastical animals, flickering death omens, and unseen things that go bump in the night. Whether these tales are based on true events, or are the creations of active imaginations, is known only to those who have experienced them--but what is certain is that their power to delight and scare us remains undimmed to this day. Renowned folklorists Delyth Badder and Mark Norman (host of The Folklore Podcast) present a captivating compilation of ghostly accounts, illuminating key themes, and giving insights into the history and culture of Wales's varied regions and communities. With original Welsh texts, many of which have been translated into English for the first time, the authors present a wide panorama of stories and first-hand accounts that will be new to even the most seasoned folklore reader.

I had a pretty picture of this one in my living room, but then I finished it in a cute little lunch cafe on Bainbridge Island, so there you go.

I really enjoyed seeing the parallels between Welsh and other folklore I know, although I was feeling a little unsure whether all entities described really falls under the ghost umbrella. Lovely with the long Welsh passages, but some IPA to help at the start would have been a nice addition.

I ended up paying for a lightroom preset that copies vsco a6 so now I'm okayish. At least it's better than paying $30 a year.
