Celtic Folklore: Welsh and Manx (Volume 2 of 2)

Delve into the mist‑laden world of Welsh and Manx tradition, where the sea is both a giver of life and a relentless devourer. This volume gathers the most vivid legends of drowned towns, vanished lakes and sudden floods, from the phantom spires of a Breton city that rise in storm‑tossed waves to the eerie bells that toll from the deep. Alongside the mythic tales, the author weaves in historical accounts of shoreline loss, sand‑driven catastrophes, and the archaeological whispers that still surface in modern bays.

The narrative moves from the dramatic inundation of ancient settlements to the haunting folklore that grew around them, offering listeners a rich tapestry of oral history, poetic description, and scholarly insight. You’ll hear fishermen’s accounts of ghostly church tops breaking the surf, and learn how generations have interpreted the sudden appearance of strange animal antlers on the shore. All of this is presented in a measured, story‑like style that invites the ear to wander the forgotten coasts of Celtic Britain.
