Adolygiad y cyhoeddwr (EN) / Publisher review (English)

Russ Williams s nationwide search for some of Wales s most enduring folkloric landmarks propels the reader on a colourful whirlwind tour through millennia of weird history and culture. From heartbroken saints and tree-bound skeletons to ghostly apes and the mischievous Mari Lwyd, here you ll find a treasure trove of Welsh myth and legend waiting to be cracked open.
Delyth Badder, folklorist and author of The Folklore of Wales: Ghosts
A thoroughly entertaining romp through Welsh places and stories. Russ Williams is a gifted storyteller with a real knack for bringing places and old legends to life. Claire Fayers, children s writer and author of Welsh Giants, Ghost and Goblins
A personal road trip in search of the weirdness of Welsh mythology. Russ goes in search of not only the well-known tales of the tylwyth teg, the Lady of the Lake and the Welsh Atlantis, but also William Price the conjurer and chartist of Llantrisant, Clwb Ifor Bach and the vampire furniture of the Valleys.
Russ's stories are told in the context of the Welsh people who hear them for the first time and say wtf ? If anyone has ever asked Is that story true? just read Russ s book. It won't answer the question because it's the wrong question, but you'll understand why you asked it in the first place.
A delicious blend of academia and anarchy, Russ retells Welsh folk tales in our time through the life and humour of a 21st-century Caernarfon boy.
Peter Stevenson, storyteller and author of Illustrated Welsh Folk Tales for Young and Old
'Russ Williams reveals a rich storytelling tradition in which Where the Folk absolutely merits its place.'
