The 18th century onwards saw a considerable fascination for compiling stories, songs, sayings and other examples of the region's oral cultural tradition, which would soon be classified under the general heading of “folklore”. This volume features a selection of legends taken from traditional and popular literature in an attempt to rescue them from oblivion. Tales, spells, treasures, historical figures, saints and shrines, submerged cities and wolf-men are passed down to us in this work, magnificently illustrated with photographs, photomontage and graphics that manage to recreate the seemingly impossible; in other words, reproducing what the human eye has never actually seen. Xosé Manuel González Reboredo and Manuel Vilar Álvarez were entrusted with the introductory study and the selection of texts included in Galicia de leyenda.
