100 – Bedtime Tales of Fairies

The bedtime story selected for your sleep is a Sleepy Time Tales original but followed up with a scholarly dissertation on the fae folk of Wales.   We return to the enchanted forest of some of our earlier original tales in the first story for tonight. A gentle musing on the nature of fae folk at midwinter.   And this is too short, so we learn a bit about the traditional beliefs of Welsh folks in olden times. Apologies for terrible Welsh/Celtic pronunciations.     Story (14:03)   Find British Goblins: Welsh Folk-lore, Fairy Mythology, Legends and Traditions by Wirt Sikes https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/34704   Supporting Sleepy Time Tales   If you would like to support my work and help keep the podcast available and for free, there are several ways you can support the show.     You can support the show as a supporter on Patreon and receive a host of bonuses including Patron only episodes and special edits https://www.patreon.com/sleepytimetales   If you’re enjoying Sleepy Time Tales you can buy me a coffee over at, well,…Buy Me A Coffee at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/sleepytimetales this doesn’t require any account registration on your part.   You can throw a tip in the jar at me/sleepytimetales   Want to wear or decorate with Sleepy Time Tales?
