Book Synopsis Welsh Food Stories by : Carwyn Graves
Download or read book Welsh Food Stories written by Carwyn Graves and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2022-05-26 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welsh Food Stories explores more than two thousand years of history to discover the rich but forgotten heritage of Welsh foods – from oysters to cider, salted butter to salt-marsh lamb. Despite centuries of industry, ancient traditions have survived in pockets across the country among farmers, bakers, fisherfolk, brewers and growers who are taking Welsh food back to its roots, and trailblazing truly sustainable foods as they do so. In this important book, author Carwyn Graves travels Wales to uncover the country’s traditional foods and meet the people making them today. There are the owners of a local Carmarthenshire chip shop who never forget a customer, the couple behind Anglesey’s world-renowned salt company Halen Môn, and everyone else in between – all of them have unique and compelling stories to tell about how they contribute to the past, present and future of Welsh food. This is an evocative and insightful exploration of an often overlooked national cuisine, shining a spotlight on the importance – environmentally and socially – of keeping local food production alive.
Book Synopsis Welsh Folk Tales by : Peter Stevenson
Download or read book Welsh Folk Tales written by Peter Stevenson and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2017-02-02 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, a selection of folk tales, true tales, tall tales, myths, gossip, legends and memories, celebrates and honours unique Welsh stories. Some are well known, others from forgotten manuscripts or out-of-print volumes, and some are contemporary oral tales. They reflect the diverse tradition of storytelling, and the many meanings of ‘chwedlau’. If someone says, ‘Chwedl Cymraeg?’ they are asking, ‘Do you speak Welsh?’ and ‘Do you tell a tale in Welsh?’ Here is the root of storytelling, or ‘chwedleua’, in Wales. It is part of conversation.This book, one to linger over and to treasure, keeps these ancient tales alive by retelling them for a new audience.

Book Synopsis Tales From Welsh Wales by : P. H. Emerson
Download or read book Tales From Welsh Wales written by P. H. Emerson and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales From Welsh Wales: Founded on Fact and Current Tradition "The three things notable in a Cymro - genius, generosity and myrth." - Keltic Cookadoodledooism, by the Earl of Pembroke. Amid the bare, rolling hills of Anglesea lived John Jones, a wealthy man and well connected. From a boy John Jones had been short in stature, with a round, protuberant belly, like that of a mush-fed negro child; nor did this stoutness decrease with age, on the contrary, at forty John Jones could only just span his belly with both his hands - for his limbs, like his torso, were short and stout. John Jones was a dark-haired, explosive Welshman, but not quite sharp; his neighbours who "had English" called him "rather soft," but that mattered little to him for he had much money, a fine house and a large garden; indeed, horticulture was his hobby, cock-fighting his serious occupation. He married young and was blessed with two daughters. Soon after marriage John Jones established an annual custom of showing his servants his wealth, the golden sovereigns tightly wedged into a stout, iron-bound, oaken chest, kept in a strong room. All his fortune was there, for in those days in remote rural districts everyone was his own banker. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis Welsh Fairy Tales and Other Stories by : P. H. Emerson
Download or read book Welsh Fairy Tales and Other Stories written by P. H. Emerson and published by Myths, Legend and Folk Tales f. This book was released on 2009 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains twenty-four such tales collected from around Wales by P. H. Emerson whilst living in Anglesea during the winter 1891-2. In most cases he amended them as little as possible, preferring to record the stories as told, staying true to the original, so that the written story would enchant readers as though it were being presented in the vernacular. Why do we call such a collection Fairy Tales? Well, when last did you hear a child say 'One more folk tale please' or 'Another nursery tale, please, grandma'? Fairy tales are stories in which occurs something 'fairy', something extraordinary--fairies, giants, dwarfs, speaking animals, or the remarkable stupidity of some of the characters. Stories of fairy interaction with humans - where the kind and thoughtful are blessed and the thoughtless and spiteful are punished. So take some time out and travel back to a period before television and radio, a time when families would gather around a crackling and spitting hearth and granddad or grandma or uncle or auntie would delight and captivate the gathering with stories passed on to them from their parents and grandparents from time immemorial. A proportion of the profit from the sale of this book will be donated towards the education of the underprivileged in Wales. A book in the "Myths, Legends and Folk Tales from Around the World" series.

Book Synopsis The Moon-Eyed People by : Peter Stevenson
Download or read book The Moon-Eyed People written by Peter Stevenson and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2019-07-08 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lone man wanders from swamp to swamp searching for himself, a wolf-girl visits Wales and eats the sheep, a Welsh criminal marries an 'Indian Princess', Lakota men re-enact the Wounded Knee Massacre in Cardiff and, all the while, mountain women practise Appalachian hoodoo, native healing and Welsh witchcraft. These stories are a mixture of true tales, tall tales and folk tales, that tell of the lives of migrants who left Wales and settled in America, of the native and enslaved people who had long been living there, and those curious travellers who returned to find their roots in the old country. They were explorers, miners, dreamers, hobos, tourists, farmers, radicals, showmen, sailors, soldiers, witches, warriors, poets, preachers, prospectors, political dissidents, social reformers, and wayfaring strangers. The Cherokee called them: ' the Moon-Eyed People'.
