Slop! A Welsh Folktale

Author: Margaret Read MacDonald
Illustrator: Yvonne LeBrun Davis

An old couple discover they have been pouring their slops onto the home of a neighbor fairy couple. Suddenly they see things through their neighbor’s eyes, and discover a better way to handle their garbage.

Illustrator Yvonne Davis adds many Welsh elements to the book, including a Welsh corgie which the fairy man rides away on the back cover. Her research revealed that the white spot on the corgie’s back is believed to be a saddle for the fairies.
