British Goblins
Autor Wirt Sikesen Limba Engleză Hardback
Sikes's 1881 tome defines and records Welsh fairy legends as they existed--still vital, alive, not just a mordant mythology but living folklore in that year. It treats the subject mechanically, detailing fairy legends with care and precision. But all the same, there's plenty of magic here. (Classics)

Notă biografică
William Wirt Sikes (1836 - 1883) was an American journalist and writer, perhaps best known today for his writings on Welsh folklore and customs. In June 1876 Sikes was appointed U.S. Consul at Cardiff, Wales. Over the next few years Sikes produced a number of pieces on Welsh folklore, mythology, and customs, collected as British Goblins; Welsh Folk-Lore, Fairy Mythology, Legends, and Traditions (1880) and Rambles and Studies in Old South Wales (1881). He also wrote Studies of Assassination (1881). He died in Cardiff in 1883 and was buried in Brookwood Cemetery, Brookwood, Surrey.
