A Welsh Folk Museum Answer Book, 1959, received from E. T. Price, Llanrhystud, containing detailed notes on peat cutting. The majority of the information was given by John Henry Jones who was 65 years old and from Mynydd-bach near Llyn Eiddwen. 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.
