"Celtic Folklore: Welsh and Manx (Volume 2 of 2)" by John Rhys is a compilation of age-old stories and myths from Wales and the Isle of Man. These tales, likely recorded in the late 1800s, recount legends of lands disappearing beneath the waves as punishment for the sins of the people who lived there. The book uses these stories of sunken villages to share the history and beliefs of the Celtic people, exploring the idea that lakes and rivers were formed when wicked towns were flooded. With stories of vengeful waters, remorseful characters, and the wages of moral corruption, the reader is thrown into the deep end of ancient Celtic mythology.
