Llyfrau Cantre’r Gwaelod

Literary explorations of supernatural horror have, in Wales as elsewhere, been popular with writers and readers alike, as this collection of tales, dating from to 1802 to 1908, aims to demonstrate.

Rob the Red-Hand is a manslayer who spends his life hiding away in the rough mountain uplands of Merionethshire. When he witnesses a gang of smugglers brutally assaulting young Janet Meredith, Rob steps from the shadows and helps his estranged nephew Reginald to free her from her kidnappers.

A light-hearted mother, a free-spirited noble patron and a blushing young sweetheart—young Twm Shôn Catti from Tregaron has it all. But one day, his mischievous temper gets the better of him and he is forced to become an outlaw. This is the story of a young man fallen from grace who eventually makes good by trusting his own wit, daring and poetic talent.
