Welsh Rarebit Tales is a collection of short stories written by Harle Oren Cummins and first published in 1902. The book contains a total of 19 stories, all of which are set in the fictional Welsh village of Llangollen. The stories are written in a humorous and charming style and feature a variety of colorful characters, including farmers, bakers, and innkeepers. The title of the book is a play on words, as ""Welsh rarebit"" is a dish made from melted cheese served over toast. Each story in the book is named after a different type of Welsh rarebit, such as ""The Cheese of the Three Crosses"" and ""The Rarebit Fiend"". The stories themselves are a mixture of adventure, romance, and comedy. Some of the tales feature supernatural elements, such as ghosts and fairies, while others are more grounded in reality. Overall, Welsh Rarebit Tales is a delightful collection of stories that offer a glimpse into life in a small Welsh village at the turn of the 20th century. The book is a testament to the author's skill as a storyteller and is sure to entertain readers of all ages.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
