About this book
Brittany's folk-tales, ballads and saints' legends are gathered here by Lewis Spence, with thirty-two illustrations by W. Otway Cannell. Spence adapts tales collected by Gaidoz, Sébillot and Luzel, retells lais of Marie de France that deal with the Breton land, and gives separate chapters to the Arthurian matter tied to Brittany, the lives of its saints, the standing stones and the lore around them, the fairies of its moors and forests, and its warriors. A few tales are told in verse. A short sketch of the Breton setting and history opens the way for readers new to the region.
