Synopsis:

‘These stories make the wall between worlds thrillingly thin. Their enchantment calls to us ever from the other side of the door’ Michael Sheen, from the foreword

If you think you’ve heard all the fairy tales out there, think again. Inside this book you will find eleven epic Welsh tales from long ago, but not so far away, that are bound to enchant you. The Mab is a collection full to the brim with brand new versions of really, really old stories from the Mabinogi – maybe the oldest written-down stories in the history of Britain.

But as well as being really, really old, the stories in The Mab are strange and funny and thrilling. Alive with mystery and magic, they speak of a time when the gates between the Real World and the Otherworld were occasionally left open. And sometimes, just sometimes, it was possible to step through.

The stories in this illustrated edition have been reimagined by an extraordinary team of writers, and each appears alongside a Welsh-language translation.

About the Author: Matt Brown is an author and broadcaster based in the UK. Over the last six years, Matt has published seven books for kids that have been sold all over the world. Four Compton Valance books and three Dreary Inkling School books. In 2020, his book Mutant Zombies Cursed My School Trip won the FCBG Children’s Book Award, the only national book award that is voted for entirely by children. Before he became an author, Matt presented on some of the UKs most popular TV shows like Nickelodeon, The Big Breakfast, the Pepsi Chart Show, Celebrity Love Island, and I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! Although, he would readily admit that he has presented on some of the UKs worst-ever shows too! He has hosted radio shows on Capital, Heart FM and Magic. He has also made a variety of documentaries for BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 5Live, and the BBC World Service. Matt writes books with his two sausage dogs sitting at his feet (and maybe some liquorice close by, too).
