Step into the enchanting world of Welsh folklore with Tales from the Land of Dragons-a captivating collection of myths, legends, and folk tales straight from the heart of Wales.
For years, Clive Gilson has immersed himself in the rich tradition of storytelling, gathering tales from across the globe. Now, in this dynamic volume, he brings to life the magic and mystery of Wales-home to dragons, ancient heroes, cunning tricksters, and epic sagas that have been passed down through generations.
Tales from the Land of Dragons is more than just a collection; it’s the beginning of an extraordinary journey through the folklore of the British Isles, with plans to explore far beyond. In this volume, you’ll discover timeless stories once told by firelight, tales of love, adventure, and the supernatural. From the awe-inspiring dragons of the Welsh valleys to the mysterious beings that haunt the countryside, each story pulses with the magic and history of the land itself.
What makes these stories even more special is their universal connection. As Gilson delved into Celtic myths and legends from every corner of the world, he found that these tales-though born in different lands-share a common heritage. The themes, characters, and lessons resonate across cultures, reminding us that storytelling is a bond that unites us all.
Let the magic of Wales draw you in, and embark on a journey through stories that have shaped the people, the land, and the history of this mystical land of dragons.
Perfect for fans of folklore, fantasy, and anyone who loves a great story.
