Extra Reading: Welsh Fairy Book (Thomas)
This collection of Welsh tales was enjoyable. I really loved the stories "Arthur in the Cave" and "St Collen and the King of Fairy". The stories were well written and easy to read. Although some of them were short it gave enough to pull a reader in. Seeing the difference in how the Welsh viewed Arthur as immortal was intriguing to me as well. At the end of "Arthur in the Cave" I thought the sorcerer and the Welshman were done for, great use of misdirection.
