Explore the enchanting world of Welsh fairy tradition as this illustrated guide unveils the enduring presence of these magical beings in Celtic myth and folklore.

Uncover the mysteries of the Otherworld (Annwfn), the ethereal realm from which the fae emerge, and meet Gwyn ap Nudd, the Welsh king of fairies.
