Roy Noble, OBE Knihy

In this collection of 20 short tales, Roy Noble celebrates the fascinating histories and traditional stories rooted in Wales, some canonical, and others less well-known today but equally deserving of attention, such as the spirit of Penderyn and the maid of Cefn Ydfa. Seamlessly blending anecdote and personal insight with historical detail, Roy has compiled a selection of humorous and engrosing explorations of traditional Wales, and suffused each with his passion, knowledge, and natural gift for storytelling.

Rhodri hates Wednesdays. Before his father left home for good, Wednesdays were something special - now they are taken up by tests and his so far unsuccessful efforts to get into the school football team. But all this changes when Rhodri meets Dylan, the collie who' s afraid of sheep, and Idris, one of King Arthur' s legendary court, who wants nothing more than to achieve his full knight status and gain a seat at Arthur' s Round Table - and the two decide to work together to achieve their aims.Written by Roy Noble and illustrated by Karl Davies.
