- More about Boggarts, Trolls and Tylwyth Teg: Folk Tales of Hidden People & Lost Lands
The Grimms called them "The Quiet Folk," in Māori they are "Patupaiarehe," and in Wales they are "Y Tylwyth Teg." These are hidden people who live unseen, speak their own languages, and move around like migrants, shrouded from our eyes. In mythology, lost lands are coral castles beneath the sea, ancient forests where spirits live, and mountain swamps where trolls lurk. These lost lands become valleys and villages flooded to provide drinking water, campsites where travelers 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.

The Grimms referred to them as the Quiet Folk, while in Māori, they are known as Patupaiarehe. In Wales, they are called Y Tylwyth Teg, which translates to "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 envisioned as coral castles beneath the sea, ancient forests teeming with spirits, and mountain swamps hiding trolls. However, when we strip away the mythology, these lost lands transform into valleys and villages that are flooded to provide drinking water to neighboring kingdoms, campsites that forbid travel, and reservations that disregard the rights of First Nations people.
The folk tales in this book delve into these hidden lands and the enigmatic Quiet Folk, preserved through migrations, dreams, and memories. They offer a glimpse into a world that exists beyond our immediate perception, reminding us of the rich tapestry of human history and the diverse cultures that have shaped our world.
