Description

Description from Project Gutenberg

"Legend Land, Vol. 3" by G. Basil Barham is a collection of folklore recounting old tales from the Western parts of Britain, particularly those associated with the Great Western Railway. The book, published in the early 20th century, reflects the rich cultural heritage and enchanting myths that arise from regions such as Wales and Cornwall. Its likely topic revolves around the exploration of local legends and their historical importance to the respective areas. In this volume, the narratives feature a variety of characters and stories derived from Welsh and Cornish folklore, including whimsical accounts of princes, saints, and magical creatures. The tales, such as the story of St. Melangell, who turned the hearts of hunters toward compassion, and the legend of King Arthur sleeping in his hilltop cave, are infused with elements of adventure, moral lessons, and the supernatural. Each tale is set against picturesque landscapes and historical landmarks, inviting readers to appreciate both the rich lore of these regions and the serene beauty that inspired them. Collectively, they highlight the intertwined nature of history and mythology, encouraging readers to connect with the past while enjoying an imaginative escape.
