Water Folk Tales

Folk tales of islands and submerged lands - stories of countries both isolated and connected by water.

Folk tales from around the world connected by sea, oceans and rivers and the animals that migrate through them without the need for passports.

Folk tales flow around the world like streams of thought, filling footprints with the history of cultures that have been uprooted, seabeds scoured and villages drowned, but never forgotten. Follow the tides out from Welsh waters, where all these stories begin, into the vast ocean. Here be sea monsters and swan girls, displaced people and rain-makers, toilet demons and talking catfish – so come on in, the water’s fine.
