British Goblins: Welsh Folk-Lore, Fairy Mythology, Legends and Traditions (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from British Goblins: Welsh Folk-Lore, Fairy Mythology, Legends and Traditions

With the rich mass of legendary lore to which these figures belong, the present volume is not in tended to deal; nor do its pages treat, save in the most casual and passing manner, of the lineage and original significance of the lowly goblins which are its theme. The questions here involved, and the task of adequately treating them, belong to the comparative mythologist and the critical historian. Rather than to the mere literary workman.
