A new version of Gillian Clarke's adaptation of Lleuad yn Olau, a collection of twenty-six traditional Welsh tales specially written for children by T. Llew Jones. Outstanding full-page colour illustrations. First published in 1991.
This collection of Welsh tales draws on a tradition older than books. Some of the stories are almost as old as the hills where crocks of gold are hidden. It's the Wales of Arthur and Merlin, of poets and princes, wizards and witches, heroes and heroines, faithful hounds and evil tyrants. Here brave boys overcome giants, young women help to catch monsters, and lovers mostly live happily ever after, just as they do in our dreams. Sad, gruesome, beautiful, strange and funny stories are all set in real landscape, in places you can find on a map. -- Publisher: Gomer@Lolfa
