One of seven (MS 1685/1-8) Welsh Folk Museum Answer books received from John Gareth Davies, Rhydowen, Llandysul, 1970-1972 on recollections from the Cardiganshire area as told to him by his mother and aunt. 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
