Bywgraffiad yr Awdur / Author Biography
Christine was born in New Inn, in the house where her mother and grandmother were born, on a street her forefathers helped build. She grew up listening to a clutch of great aunts whose own tales weave through these new tellings of the county's folk tales. The resulting stories resonate with voices of many kinds.
Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review
Read on to discover how and why the star-browed ox walked through a dream, what happened when Pegws found herself without Reverend Ridge in Carmel Chapel, and how the owl flew in low over the foxgloves, trying to sense from which direction change might come . . . Gwent Folk Tales brings to life long-told tales and weaves them beautifully with stories told to the author by family members. Wonderfully illustrated and engaging, there is a tale for everyone.
