The Moon-Eyed People: Folk Tales from Welsh America
Across the Atlantic, in the valleys and mountains of Welsh America, a rich tradition of folklore flourished—stories brought by immigrants, transformed by new landscapes, and passed down through generations. Peter Stevenson's evocative collection resurrects these forgotten narratives, weaving together the Welsh heritage and American frontier experience in tales both haunting and deeply human.
From spectral encounters and supernatural guardians to legends rooted in the struggles of settlement and survival, these stories reveal the soul of Welsh-American communities. Stevenson's prose carries the rhythm and resonance of oral tradition, while 36 atmospheric duotone illustrations lend an ethereal quality that perfectly captures the mysterious, liminal space between two worlds.
This is folklore as cultural bridge—a testament to the enduring power of stories to preserve identity, maintain connection, and speak across time and distance. For readers drawn to immigrant narratives, Appalachian folklore, and the hidden histories of America, The Moon-Eyed People opens a door to a world both strange and strangely familiar.
