This work delves into the rich tapestry of legends, traditions, and supernatural beings within Welsh culture. It examines assorted fairy figures such as goblins, elves, and mermaids, contextualizing their significance and roles within Welsh folklore. The opening of the book introduces readers to the belief systems surrounding fairies in Wales, highlighting their enduring presence in both rural and urban societies. Sikes discusses historical context, including references to King Arthur and how these tales were integrated into the cultural fabric of Wales. He elaborates on the characteristics and classifications of different fairy types, such as Ellyllon (elves) and Coblynau (mine fairies), and presents anecdotes that illustrate these beings' interactions with humans. Through this introduction, Sikes captures a sense of wonder and nostalgia for the enchanting lore that shapes Welsh identity while offering insight into the complexities of belief in the supernatural during his time.
