Sobre IBD

British Goblins - Welsh Folk-lore, Fairy Mythology, Legends and Traditions.British Goblins does a good job at its stated purpose - collecting and loosely categorizing Welsh Folklore of every category, ranging from the reasons behind certain customs and superstitions of daily life, to descriptions and associated stories of various faeries, goblins, and giants, to descriptions of apparitions and the view of the afterlife, to more fantastic things, like dragons, standing stones, and magic wells and stones.Although a somewhat anecdotal approach is taken, the author has in fact preserved a good deal of information that might have otherwise been lost. 3
