Download or read book LEGENDS & ROMANCES of BRITTANY - 162 Breton Myths and Legends written by Anon E. Mouse and published by Abela Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2018-11-15 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Herein are 162 folk and fairy tales, customs and traditions of Brittany, France compiled and retold by Lewis Spence. In this volume you will find legends of heroes and Saints, King Arthur, his sword Excalibur and of the Isle of Avalon; as well as ballads, legends and romances of Counts, Dukes, Princes and Kings, tales of their castles, adventures, loves and lovers, sorceresses, wizards plus many, many more. The 162 legends are grouped into 13 sections which are as follows: I - The Land, the People and their Story II - Menhirs and Dolmens III - The Fairies of Brittany IV - Sprites And Demons of Brittany V - World-Tales in Brittany VI - Breton Folk-Tales VII - Popular Legends of Brittany VIII - Hero-Tales of Brittany IX - The Black Art and Its Ministers X - Arthurian Romance in Brittany XI - The Breton Lays of Marie De France XII - The Saints of Brittany XIII - Costumes and Customs of Brittany In typical Spence style we are provided with ample background to the stories which provides valuable insights to the times, although I would not bemoan any young reader who skims over these and goes straight to the legends themselves. The 32 colour and BnW plates by W. Otway Cannell, portrayed in a classic style, are entirely suited to the era from which these tales come. This volume is sure to keep you enchanted for hours, if not because of the quantity, then because of the quality of the tales and legends, which will have you coming back for more. ============ TAGS: folklore, fairy tales, myths, legends, children’s stories, bedtime, fables, romances, Brittany, France, breton tongue, ancient, armoricans, Samson, wax for wine, vision, jud-hael, Taliesin, hervé, blind, nomenoe, alain barbe-torte, norman, poison, hunting-horn, war, two joans, bertrand du Guesclin, ward, du Guesclin, death of marguerite, castle of trogoff, anne, menhirs, dolmens, monuments, legend of dol, subterranean, dolmen chapel, camaret, carnac, mont-saint-michel, rocenaud, cup-and-ring, markings, gallery gavr’inis, ile aux moines, fairy builders, stones that travel, broceliande, korrigan, seigneur of nann, goddess of eld, unbroken vow, merlin, vivien, fountain of baranton, bruno of la montagne, lost daughter, fisherman, changelings, king of the fishes, queen, prince, princess, origins, margots, serve, sprites, demons, nain, crions, courils, gorics, teurst, Nicole, mourioche, ankou, youdic, world-tales, youth, did not know, tronkolaine, starbright, castle of the sun, seigneur , horse's head, bride of satan, baron of jauioz, man of honour, magic rose, norouas, north-west wind, foster-brother, gilles de retz, comorre the cursed, ys, rohan, lady of la garaye, falcon, marquis of guérande, châteaux, la roche-jagu, clisson, josselin, hennebont, largoet, chateaubriand, palaces, past, suscino, lez-breiz, morvan, adventure, king's cavalier, blackamoor, severed head, ballad of bran, fontenelle, return, marriage-girdle, combat, saint-cast, song of the pilot, druidic magic, abelard, Heloise, hymn, nantes, magicians, Arthur, sword, Excalibur, tristrem, tristram, ysonde, isolda, forester, ermonie, moraunt, fytte, minstrel, boon, forest lovers, manuscript, giant, mont-saint-michel, doubting Thomas, dragon, isle of Avalon, were-wolf, superstition, lay of gugemar, laustic, eliduc, equitant, ash-tree, graelent, dolorous knight, st barbe, st convoyon, steal, relics, tivisiau, hepherd saint, st nennocha, st enora, corseul, accursed, st keenan, st Nicholas, st bieuzy, st leonorius, st patern, st Samson, lawyer saint, st budoc, dol, miraculous, crossings, azenor the pale, st pol, léon, st ronan, st goezenou, st winwaloe, gwenaloe, tartarus, paradise

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We can imagine the scene. It is a late April evening. Everyone has gathered at Perik's house. Someone has finished singing an old tune and a festive joy reigns in the house. The young Emile Souvestre, lawyer and journalist, is ready with his notebook and prepares to record in shorthand the story that follows. The light of the fire illuminates Annick's face -everyone is expectant- and she begins the tale: "Long, long ago, ere the acorns were sown which have since furnished timber for the oldest vessels of the port of Brest, there lived in the parish of Guirek a poor widow..."These are the stories and legends that are told next to the fireplace. Brittany is the land where the tales of goblins and fairies and ancient druidic rituals intersect with the Christian faith, giving its stories a unique and characteristic flavor. We offer here a selection of those published in 1844, by Emile Souvestre in his "Foyer Breton"

Book excerpt: "[...] CHAPTER I: THE LAND, THE PEOPLE AND THEIR STORY The romantic region which we are about to traverse in search of the treasures of legend was in ancient times known as Armorica, a Latinized form of the Celtic name, Armor ('On the Sea'). The Brittany of to-day corresponds to the departments of Finistère, Côtes-du-Nord, Morbihan, Ille-et-Vilaine, and Loire-Inférieure. A popular division of the country is that which partitions it into Upper, or Eastern, and Lower, or Western, Brittany, and these tracts together have an area of some 13,130 square miles.[...]".

He founded the Scottish National Movement. In this time Spence's interest was sparked in the myth and folklore of Mexico and Central America, resulting in his popularisation of the Mayan Popul Vuh, the sacred book of the Quiché Mayans (1908). He compiled A Dictionary of Mythology (1910), an Encyclopedia of occultism and parapsychology (1920) and numerous additional volumes.
