| Summary | "Celtic Folklore: Welsh and Manx" by Sir John Rhys is a comprehensive collection of folklore and legends written in the early 20th century. This work focuses primarily on Welsh and Manx folklore, exploring various tales, cultural beliefs, and practices associated with the Celtic traditions in these regions. It aims to preserve and analyze the rich oral traditions that have shaped the cultural identity of the Welsh and Manx people. At the start of the work, the author reflects on his experiences in gathering folklore from Welsh sources. He shares the challenges he faced while collecting fragmented stories, emphasizing the gradual accumulation of material and the importance of careful observation and documentation. Rhys expresses regret for not starting his inquiries earlier and outlines the varied origins of the fairy lore that he plans to delve into in subsequent chapters. Through detailed explorations of legends and cultural elements associated with fairies, waters, and local customs, he aims to offer insights into the complex tapestry of Celtic mythology and its historical significance.
