Mythology fans and art enthusiasts alike will enjoy this beautiful book." — Booklist ‘‘Packed with lore, history, and beautiful illustrations, Welsh Monsters & Mythical Beasts is an indispensable registry of everything that lurks in the shadows, glides just beneath the surface, or goes bump in the night.

I love it!’’ — Todd Lockwood ''My first thought upon seeing Welsh Monsters was “Goodness, what a useful book!” —John Howe Upon the dramatic landscape of Wales there have been born many creatures and beings of legend.

This lushly illustrated guide delves into the dragons, beasts, fair folk, and spirits of Wales.

Tales become blended and one with history, and this history meets illustration with C.C.J.

Ellis’ rich renderings of these creatures. Detail and colour lift these beings off the page and bring this compendium to life.

Now available worldwide, this new edition includes a Welsh language guide so that each of the creatures might be known by their original Welsh names.

You may have heard of the Red Dragon (Draig Goch) featured on the national flag of Wales, but have you heard of the Water Leaper (Llamhigyn Y Dŵr) or of the Mary White (Mari Lwyd)?

Ellis aims to re-introduce the beasts of Welsh myth and legend to the world and bring a touch of Wales to your shelves.
