Welsh Fairy Tales, Myths and Legends by Claire Fayers

adventurous inspiring fast-paced

3.0

This was a fun and entertaining read that I would recommend. Each story follows a child protagonist and is a rendition of traditional welsh tales and myths. They are suited to a children’s audience and the writing/formatting is in line being a little simplistic and lacking that much depth. But for what it is and what Fayers set out I think it was done well. It’s a shame to not be getting a higher rating but all nineteen stories averaged out to 3.092 stars so that’s what it’ll have to be, some were better then others and there weren’t any I particularly disliked but personally a bit mid. It’s a nice book, one that might’ve been better coming back to instead of reading many in one sitting and I’d be interested to explore more of such tales in a longer format and elsewhere as similar versions are available for Scottish and Welsh tales. What I did find useful and important was a guide to pronunciation and character/place names at the start.
