Riassunto

The Welsh Fairy Book is a classic collection of Welsh stories and legends. Reprinted many times since its first appearance in 1907, this collection has had a significant influence on peoples' conception of the nature and content of Welsh folk tradition.
W. Jenkyn Thomas's refined prose and Willy Pogany's imaginative illustrations are characteristic of a romantic view of fairytales. However, the study of folklore has moved away from the romantic to become more rigorously, academic. Juliette Wood's introduction places the author and the book in context and charts the changes in attitudes to collecting and editing folktales and the development of Welsh folk studies.
