The Grimms called them The Quiet Folk, in Maori they are Patupaiarehe, in Wales Y Tylwyth Teg. Almost every small culture and country has stories of hidden people who live unseen, speak their own languages and move around like migrants, shrouded from our eyes like those who lived in the utopian world of Plant Rhys Ddwfn off the west Welsh coast, where this book begins. In mythology, lost lands are coral castles beneath the sea where mermaids swim, ancient forests where spirits live amongst the trees, and mountain swamps where trolls lurk. The folk tales in this book tell of these lost lands and hidden people, remembered through migrations, dreams and memories.
