Bywgraffiad yr Awdur / Author Biography

Thomas Jeffery Llewelyn Prichard (1790 1862) was born in the Builth area and spent the early years of his adulthood carving out a name for himself as an actor on the London stage. After fledgling attempts at poetry (Welsh Minstrelsy, 1824) and writing guide books (The New Aberystwyth Guide, 1824), he began collecting material for his only novel, The Adventures and Vagaries of Twm Shôn Catti (1828). It is considered to be the first Anglophone novel written by a Welsh author on a Welsh subject that was also published in Wales.

Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review

Taking to the road as Welsh incarnation of Robin Hood, Twm outwits many traps set by the arm of the law, lampoons his social betters in racy bets and defends the weak against other highway robbers. This is the story of a young man fallen from grace who eventually makes good by trusting his own wit, daring and poetic talent.
