As the giant Idris travels across Wales on a quest to collect stories, we meet a vengeful house goblin, a ghost that steals life from the living, dwarves dwelling beneath a garden, a tea party of Lady ghosts and many other fascinating and devious fairy folk, reimagined from Welsh legend.

Immense and insightful, this 1880 study of Welsh people and culture is richly illustrated, and preserves a treasure-trove of material on fairies, goblins, pwca, witches, spirits, giants, and others never before discussed, and unique to Wales.

British Goblins - Welsh Folk-lore, Fairy Mythology, Legends and Traditions. British Goblins does a good job at its stated purpose - collecting and loosely categorizing Welsh Folklore of every category, ranging from the reasons behind certain customs and superstitions of daily life, to descriptions and associated stories of various faeries, goblins, and giants, to descriptions of apparitions and the view of the afterlife, to more fantastic things, like dragons, standing stones, and magic wells and stones. Although a somewhat anecdotal approach is taken, the author has in fact preserved a good deal of information that might have otherwise been lost.

Offering glimpses into the personal and scholarly lives of 20 giants in the history of psychology, this volume comprises chapters prepared by psychology scholars on a pioneer who had made important contributions in their own area of expertise. Some of the psychologists described may be the teachers of the instructor who could be the users of this title, providing a potential personal connection of the pioneers to the students. A special section provides brief portraits of the editors and authors, containing information about the relationship between the author and the psychologist they have chosen to describe.
