Abstract
As this study shows, there has been a proliferation of books and films which draw from the hanesion of Wales for their inspiration, their plots and their characters. But mine is far from an exhaustive account of these works. A few minutes’ discussion with anyone who keeps abreast of modern fantasy will soon reveal many lesser-known works which use the Welsh or related Celtic myths. And I have no doubt that such films and books will continue to proliferate.
