Tales From The Land Of Dragons (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781915081629)

Step into the mist and magic of Wales, where dragons dream beneath the mountains and stories run like rivers in flood. Tales From The Land of Dragons gathers together a vibrant collection of Welsh myths, legends, folktales, and fairytales, tales once told by hearthlight to keep memory alive, to entertain, to warn, and to teach.

This new, revised and updated edition celebrates the extraordinary storytelling tradition of Wales. Inside you'll meet cunning tricksters, fierce queens, wandering saints, restless ghosts, and dragons both noble and wild. These are stories shaped by song, steeped in landscape, and polished smooth by centuries of telling. Some are dark and strange, others tender and full of quiet grace, but each is alive with the wit and wisdom of a people whose language itself seems to sing.

In these Welsh tales you can already hear echoes of other worlds: the same hopes, fears, and longings that surface in folklore from every continent. The faces may change, the landscapes may differ, but the heartbeat of story is the same.

Tales From The Land of Dragons reminds us that storytelling is one of the oldest ways we have of understanding who we are. These are the tales that shaped us, tales of courage and folly, love and loss, laughter and magic, and they still speak with clarity and fire today. So draw close, open the book, and listen. The dragon stirs again, and the stories begin to breathe.
