AB The presence of myth and folklore in Young Adult fantasy has increased in the lastdecades, boosting the genre’s popularity among young readers. The aim of thisdissertation is to analyse the way in which, specifically Welsh/Celtic mythology andfolklore, are included in fictional worlds of fantasy as exemplified in MaggieStiefvater’s four-book saga The Raven Cycle.
