520			_a"Welsh Folk-Lore" by Elias Owen is a collection of folk tales and legends written in the late 19th century. This volume, which won a prize at the 1887 National Eisteddfod, explores the rich tapestry of fantastical narratives rooted in Welsh culture, particularly from North Wales. The work draws upon extensive oral traditions, reflecting on the customs and beliefs of the Welsh people, and is dedicated to uncovering the historical significance of these tales. The beginning of "Welsh Folk-Lore" introduces the author’s motivation and methodology for compiling these folk narratives. In his preface, Owen explains how he gathered information largely from the elderly residents of North Wales during his school inspections, highlighting the need to preserve fading traditions. He acknowledges the contributions of local clergy and other informants who shared insights into the folklore of their regions. This opening sets the stage for a dive into the realm of fairies, superstitions, and ancient customs that blend the supernatural with historical reflections in Welsh society.
