Abstract

The article offers the author's discussion on the origin of children's fantasy literature in North Wales. She mentions that the mythology of the country and other parts of Great Britain and Ireland is originated in the Celtic culture which dates back to 800 Before the Common Era (BCE). She also notes that characters in such fiction are often heroes which are historically based on real life than in the mind of a person.
