The Grimms called them The Quiet Folk, in Māori they are Patupaiarehe, in Wales Y Tylwyth Teg : 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, ancient forests where spirits live, and mountain swamps where trolls lurk. Strip away the mythology, and they become valleys and villages flooded to provide drinking water to neighbouring kingdoms, campsites where travellers are told they can't travel, and reservations where the rights of first nations people are ignored. The folk tales in this book tell of these lost lands and hidden people, remembered through migrations, dreams and memories.

India has been a treasure trove of folklore and fables for millennia, history and legend being so entangled that even academics and historians find it difficult to sort fact from fantasy. Well known scholar and orator Sri Vanidas Elayavoor's monumental task of collecting and collating the legends of north Malabar, handed down orally over the centuries, has ensured that this 'archaeology of knowledge' from the past is preserved for ever. Now, for the first time, a selection of stories featuring the Gods, Goddesses and divinities, scholars, warriors and ruling houses, of this fabled land, is available in English.
