The Blue Book of Nebo
Manon Steffan Ros
Dylan was six when The End came, back in 2018; when the electricity went off for good, and the 'normal' 21st century world he knew disappeared. Now he's 14 and he and his mam have survived in their isolated hilltop house above the village of Nebo in north-west Wales, learning new skills, and returning to old ways of living.
The Mab
Matt Brown a Eloise Williams
Eleven stories from the Welsh classic The Mabinogion, being some of the oldest stories ever written down, retold by contemporary authors, in a beautifully illustrated dual language edition. The Mab is the first ever dual language edition of all the stories from the Mabinogion.
The Blackthorn Branch
Elen Caldecott
A magical adventure with a rich folkloric atmosphere, Caldecott's imaginative tale finds a young boy lured into the underworld by Fair Folk disguised as everyday children.
The Drowned Woods
Emily Lloyd-Jones
Once upon a time, the kingdoms of Wales were rife with magic and conflict - and eighteen-year-old Mererid 'Mer' is well-acquainted with both. As the last living water diviner, she can manipulate water with magic. Part heist novel, part dark fairy tale, and rich with Welsh legends, The Drowned Woods is an ethereal fantasy, perfect for fans of Kristin Cashore and Maria V. Snyder.
