Welsh Giants, Ghosts and Goblins

A wealth of Welsh myths, legends and ghost stories are reimagined for contemporary younger readers.

Meet Idris, the teenage giant king on a quest to collect stories. As he travels across Wales in this anthology, he hears stories of vengeful goblins, a ghoulish party and a whole host of fascinating folk reimagined from Welsh legend. Old stories are given new life in these exciting adventures full of feisty and fun characters living in a mixture of traditional and modern worlds.

＂A vibrant collection of stories, packed with magic, wit and warmth. Fayers weaves ancient folklore and modern storytelling together seamlessly. I was enchanted!＂ --P.G. Bell, author of the Train to Impossible Places series

Claire Fayers grew up in South-east Wales where, thanks to her local library, she developed a lifelong obsession with myth and magic. Her books include Tapper Watson and the Quest for the Nemo Machine (Firefly 2023) The Accidental Pirates (Waterstones Book of the Month, shortlisted for the Children’s Book Award), and Storm Hound (winner of the Tir na nOg award 2020). She lives in the Welsh mountains in an old house which has so far proved to be disappointingly free of ghosts.
