About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Welsh Fairy Tales and Other Stories by P.H. Emerson. These tales were collected by me whilst living in Anglesea during the winter 1891-2. With the exception of the French story, they were told me and I took them down at the time. In most cases I have done but little "editing", preferring to give the stories as told. P. H. Emerson, April 1894. (Summary from Author's Note)
