Russ Williams invites you on an intimate journey through Wales, following the threads of folklore to the actual locations where these stories took root and flourished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eThis is travel writing at its most enchanting. Williams moves beyond the well-trodden tourist paths to discover the hidden corners of Wales where folklore breathes.
