Welsh Folk Museum Answer book and letter received from Mrs Ann Lloyd, Glanrafon, Corwen, in 1972, containing notes on puzzles, traditional medicines, customs and traditions, beliefs on witchcraft, traditional verses and lullabies. Answer Books were sent out by the Welsh Folk Museum 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.
