This month's read is 'Where the Folk' by Russ Williams.
A folkloric roadtrip around Wales in a creaky red fiesta. Can't wait!🌙
Join Russ Williams as he visits the places that inspire Welsh folk stories, like the one about a mountain that would send you mad or turn you into a gifted poet if you camped out on it, the one about the lost civilisation drowned by the sea or the one about the bottomless lake leading down to the Welsh Otherworld.
Stories of witches and giants and heroic kings, dragons and mad doctors, ghostly women, giant beaver monsters, vampire furniture and pirate-fighting monks.
In this joyful travelogue, he explores the origins behind the myths, talking to experts and storytellers to find out both their origins, and what they tell us about the Welsh landscape and psyche.
'Russ Williams reveals a rich storytelling tradition in which Where the Folk absolutely merits its place'
