"Legends & Romances of Brittany" by Lewis Spence is a collection of folk tales and legends that showcases the rich cultural heritage of Brittany, written in the early 20th century. The book offers a comprehensive view of the region's lore, including folk-tales, ballads, historical heroic tales, as well as accounts of supernatural beings and local customs. Through this gathering of stories, Spence intends to present Breton culture to English-speaking audiences, thereby bridging a cultural gap. The opening portion of the text sets the stage for this exploration by providing a preface that outlines the author's intentions and the variety of material included in the volume. Spence emphasizes that while many Breton folk-tales share similarities with those found in other cultures, they possess unique characteristics rooted in the region’s history and folklore. The initial chapters introduce Brittany’s landscape and historical context, hinting at the intertwining of its natural beauty with the enchanting tales of its people, such as the Arthurian legends and local lore surrounding ancient monuments. The introduction concludes by preparing readers for a journey through enchanting and mysterious narratives rich in cultural depth and historical significance.
