Tales from the Deep

Welsh music icon Cerys Matthews uses her well-known talent with words to bring to life two classic Welsh folk tales for a contemporary young audience. The legends of Cantre'r Gwaelod and The Maid of Llyn y Fan are lyrically retold, accompanied by gorgeous watercolor images from Fran Evans, making this an ideal publication for children of 5 years and over. 'The Ghost Bells of the Lowlands' relates the story of a gatekeeper who fails to carry out his protective duties one evening, placing the villagers at the mercy of the sea. 'Myddfai Magic' narrates the story of Gwyn, a farmer who sees a beautiful girl emerge from the lake as he tends to his animals one day. The third time that he sees her, he asks her to marry him, changing his life forever.
