Bywgraffiad yr Awdur / Author Biography
Trefor M. Owen was curator of the Welsh Folk Museum (now St Fagans National History Museum) between 1971 and 1987, and a former president of the Society for Folk Life Studies. He was one of the driving forces behind the advancement of the academic study of folk life across the United Kingdom.
Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review
Trefor M. Owen's seminal work educates, enlightens and entertains with a far-reaching yet accessible text, which paints a colourful and comprehensive portrait of a nation's rich folk culture. The Customs and Traditions of Wales is an illuminating and engrossing insight into a subject that continues to unfold and develop in contemporary life. Despite an increasingly globalised society that has transformed local communities, folk customs are still practised and enjoyed the world over as people combine modern-day and historical rituals and embrace opportunities to learn about their past, and Owen's influential study has maintained its relevance as customs change and evolve.
