Summary

Sixteen Welsh legends and myths from north-eastern Wales.

Wales is a land filled with mythology. Every breathtaking valley, towering mountain, shimmering lake and magical castle has a mythical tale to entertain and enchant you. The Welsh, like other Celtic races, love to tell stories. From before the time of the Mabinogion and the Black Book of Carmarthen they have passed dark winter nights telling Welsh fables, fairy tales and legends. Discover....

  • The strange story of Queen Nest, the Bishop and the ring
  • Why the greedy innkeeper and his wife couldn't stop dancing
  • A monument to a mad king that was never completed but can be seen from miles away
  • Discover the Devil Dog of Marchwiel and how they chased a farmer home from the tavern

These are just some of the Welsh Legends and Myths you will find in this book, but there's more....

  • Learn the legend of Saint Chwyfan's Cross, a story of Vikings, treasure and greed
  • Why Saint Winefride's pool is visited by pilgrims from around the world and her shrine is littered with discarded crutches
  • The fate of the Lonely Lighthouse Keeper of Talacre and why a weird moaning statue guards the lighthouse
  • The reason the Grey Lady of Ruthin still wanders the castle's rooms
  • Why Robert Llwyd Hari played a peculiar game of cards with a stranger on a bridge
  • How Shon Ap Robert met the Angelystor of Llangernyw and his sad fate
  • And why The Princess of Rhuddlan, a foolish vain girl, was tricked by the devil

The folklore of Wales and its history are interwoven with myths and legends that cross the centuries. Some are based on factual events, others have mythical roots, but all are entertaining.

Download the audiobook today and delight in these magical Welsh legends.

Rubbish! A Welsh name doesn't make a Welshman

The worst pronunciation of the Welsh language I have ever come across. This book is an insult to Audible. Mr Watkins may have written.the book but he should have found a person who has a real North Wales accent to do the narration.
