Description:
First edition. This is a scholarly work exploring the water-cults and well-worship in Wales: "Rooted in paganism, 'converted' to Christian usage, condemned by Protestantism, 'explained' by folklorists, rationalized by modern education, the cult has survived and still wields an influence over the human mind." (Jones, F.)
