EP14 The Realm of Faerie: Secret Origin of the Fairy Folk (Ghosts and Folklore of Wales podcast with Mark Rees)

The world is full of magical tales about fairies, but have you
ever wondered where they come from?


According to Welsh folklore, the little folk originated in either
north Wales or south Wales, and the answer to that question -
along with many others - is revealed in this episode of the
GHOSTS & FOLKLORE podcast with Mark Rees (author of "Ghosts
of Wales"/ "Paranormal Wales" etc.).


In the company of a pioneering Victorian writer who travelled
from America to Wales and recorded many a fairy tale, join them
for a whirlwind tour which looks at old beliefs in the
mischievous creatures, and some real-life hiding places where
they are said to have dwelt.


This episode is the perfect starting point for anyone with an
interest in folklore and fairy tales, and lays the groundwork for
many of the fantastical - and occasionally dark - tales to
follow.
