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.
Particulars respecting the narratives will be found in the Notes.
In most cases I have done but little “editing”, preferring to give the
stories as told.
The old book referred to in the Notes I bought from a country
bookseller, who knew neither its author, title, or date, but I have
since been informed the book is Williams’ _Observations on the Snowdon
Mountains_, published in 1802, a book well known to students of Celtic
literature.
