THE FAIRIES (TYLWYTH TEG)
(p135)
“FAIRIES PLAYING TRICKS WITH THE OVEN.
Miss Evelyn Lewes, Tyglyn Aeron, in the “Carmarthenshire Antiquities” says, “Should the dough not rise properly, but present a stringy appearance, the Cardiganshire housewife announces that “Mae bara yn robin,” and forthwith orders the sacrifice of an old slipper, presumably to propitiate the fairy folk who are inclined to play tricks with the oven…. A native of Montgomeryshire tells me that in her youth no loaf at her home was ever placed in the oven unless a cross had been previously signed upon it.””
From ‘Folk-Lore of West and Mid-Wales’ by J. Ceredig Davies (1911).
