"Alas," said they, "what is the mountain that is seen by the side of the ships?"

"Bran the Blessed, my brother," Branwen replied, "coming to shoal water [to rescue me]; there is no ship that can contain him in it."

"What is the lofty ridge with the lake on each side thereof?"

"On looking towards this island he is wroth, and his two eyes, one on each side of his nose, are the two lakes beside the ridge."

- The Mabinogion

Score! As a child I always loved a book friends of my parent’s had. I always wanted to find it, but couldn’t remember the title. But now, so many years later, I, quite by chance, found it, and it arrived today! ”Faeries” by Brian Froud and Alan Lee.

One of the most beautiful women in Welsh folklore was Princess Olwen, daughter of Ysbaddaden, king of the giants. Her hair was yellower than the broom plant, and gorgeous white flowers sprung up in her footprints. King Arthur helped Prince Culhwch woo Olwen.

In medieval Welsh legends, fairies look human, and aren't treated as nonhuman by human characters or collectively referred to by any general term (such as "fairy" or "Tylwyth Teg"). It's just implied that maybe these mysterious people with inexplicable magic aren't quite normal.
