Welsh Folk Museum Answer Book, 1959, containing notes written in Welsh by Mrs E.M. Davies, Llan-non, Ceredigion on various subjects; a farm labourer's working day and employment, names of cottages in the Bethania area, food, words and sayings.The information was collected from William Evans, Arfryn, Cross Inn, aged 85 at the time. Answer Books were sent out by the Welsh Folk Museum in 1958 to individuals across Wales as a way of collecting and documenting information on aspects of folk culture in their areas, including agriculture, crafts, food, customs and dialects. The responses were hand-written in the books. The Answer Books had a similar purpose to the earlier questionnaires sent out in 1937.
