Childhood
...Fantastic Family Tales From Wales
The poet, author, teacher and chess player T. Llew Jones (1915-2009) is one of Wales’ best-loved children’s authors. His tales of Roma Travellers, highwaymen and pirates continue to inspire Welsh readers of all ages to this day. Although he is best known for his novels for children, he also penned playful poems too. Amongst the most popular are Traeth y Pigyn (inspired by the golden beaches of west Wales), Y Lleidr Pen-ffordd and Cwm Alltcafan. Visit the magical secluded beach at Cwmtydu and pop into Tafarn Tydu for ice creams, which appears as 'Glandon pub' in the story Dirgelwch yr Ogof ('The Mystery of the Cave'). Diwrnod T. Llew Jones ('T. Llew Jones Day') is celebrated annually on 11 October in schools and libraries across Wales.
