Wirt Sikes, a noted American diplomat and writer, drew inspiration for the book from his travels in Wales and his interest in Celtic mythology. His background in folklore studies and his passion for Welsh culture shine through in his meticulous research and thoughtful analysis of the tales he presents.

I highly recommend 'British Goblins' to readers who are fascinated by folklore, mythology, and the rich storytelling traditions of Wales.

Wirt Sikes, one of the notable figures of 19th-century American literature, is particularly celebrated for his contributions to the documentation and exploration of Welsh folklore. His seminal work, 'British Goblins: Welsh Folk-lore, Fairy Mythology, Legends and Traditions' (1880), stands as a testament to his dedication to preserving the rich tapestry of Welsh culture. Sikes was not merely an author; he was also a respected journalist and served as the United States Consul to Cardiff, a position that afforded him a profound immersion into Welsh life and traditions. His writings are characterized by a scholarly rigor underpinned by a genuine affection for the subjects he explored. In 'British Goblins,' Sikes meticulously catalogs and narrates tales of the supernatural, providing an invaluable resource for both contemporary enthusiasts and future scholars of myth and folklore. His literary style merges an anthropological approach with a narrative flair, making his work both academically sound and enticingly readable. Sikes's influence extends beyond literature; his work has played a critical role in the preservation of Celtic folklore, ensuring that the myths and legends he so eloquently recorded are not lost to the mists of time.
