And there are more downloads for me!!!

More Welsh folklore and other stuff to do with Faery. Here's a list of e-books I downloaded-- let me paste the titles and descriptions for you. You'll notice that they all have one thing in common:

British Goblins: Welsh folk-lore, fairy mythology, legends and traditions
THE Gwragedd Annwn (literally, wives of the lower world, or hell) are the elfin dames who dwell under the water. I find no resemblance in the Welsh fairy to our familiar mermaid, beyond the watery abode, and the sometimes winning ways. The Gwragedd Annwn are not fishy of aspect, nor do they dwell in the sea. Their haunt is the lakes and rivers, but especially the wild and lonely lakes upon the mountain heights.--by Wirt Sikes

Fairy Legends and Traditions IT is said by those who ought to understand such things, that the good people, or the fairies, are some of the angels who. were turned out of heaven, and who landed on their feet in this world, while the rest of their companions, who had more sin to sink them, went down further to a worse place. --by Thomas Crofton Croker


Gods and Fighting Men Now it chanced at that time there were three brothers of the Tuatha de Danaan living together in a place that was called Druim na Teine, the Ridge of the Fire, Goibniu and Samthainn and Cian. Cian was a lord of land, and Goibniu was the smith that had such a great name. Now Clan had a wonderful cow, the Glas Gaibhnenn, and her milk never failed. And every one that heard of her coveted her--arranged and put into English by Lady Augusta Gregory

Japanese Fairy Tales--Yei Theodora Ozaki Long, long ago in Kyoto, the people of the city were terrified by accounts of a dreadful ogre, who, it was said, haunted the Gate of Rashomon at twilight and seized whoever passed by. The missing victims were never seen again, so it was whispered that the ogre was a horrible cannibal, who not only killed the unhappy victims but ate them also. Now everybody in the town and neighborhood was in great fear, and no one durst venture out after sunset near the Gate of Rashomon.


The Welsh Fairy Book THE people of Pembrokeshire were for a long time puzzled to know where the fairies, or the Children of Rhys the Deep, as they are called in Little England beyond Wales, lived. They used to attend the markets at Milford Haven and other places regularly. They made their purchases without speaking, laid down their money and departed, always leaving the exact sum required--W. Jenkyn Thomas

Ok, this is it for now. I really am into this Faery stuff. I even have an encyclopedia of Fairies and Goblins, and that Faery book by Brian Froud. Sometimes the stories get a little creepy, but they're all so fascinating.

Ok, totoo na 'to. Good night!
