If you ever wondered about the mystic legends of Welsh monsters and faeries, you will learn all about them in this book! There are separate sections for types of dragons, strange beasts, elves and faeries, and ghostly spirits. Some of the legends are similar to ones everyone across the world is familiar with, such as dragons or griffins, but some are uniquely Welsh like Cath Palug (Palug's Cat). Some creatures are benevolent like the Bwbachod (House Faeries), some are merely mischievous like the Llamhigyn y Dwr (Water Leaper frog), but others are dangerous and deadly like the Gwyllgi (Twilight Dog).

One of the best things about this book is that the reader gets to learn a few Welsh words and how to pronounce them. The whole book is vibrant with the Welsh culture and language! I found myself attempting to say the Welsh words aloud, rolling them around my mouth like a piece of candy.

The illustrations are absolutely gorgeous! I love the delicate lines of the artwork and the lovely designs. Of course, some of the designs are scary for the monsters and spirits of death. But that just shows the genius of the artist in depicting both beauty and hideousness.
