The Three Ravens Folk Tales of Wales

The Three Ravens Folk Tales of Wales gathers new tellings from the 13 historic counties of Wales, bringing together stories of loyalty, fear, enchantment and mischief. Among them is the tragic account of Gelert, the faithful hound, alongside tales involving vampire furniture, werewolf ghosts and ladies of the lake.

Witches and monsters appear beside stories of doomed love and rib-tickling rascals, creating a varied portrait of Welsh folklore rather than a single tradition or tone. Eleanor Conlon and Martin Vaux, hosts of the Three Ravens folklore podcast, retell these legends for a modern collection that moves between eerie, dramatic and comic material while keeping Wales and its storytelling heritage at its centre.
