About Us

Colin has written, edited or contributed to a number of books, including Legends of King Arthur Through the Ages, The Wild Chair, and of course World Folk Tales Vol I. Colin writes in both English and Welsh, and is the author of the incredible Cadw Swn home study Welsh course, which teaches Welsh at a remarkable rate using stories and music.

The aim of this folktales series is to present traditional tales from around the world in a fresh light, so that they may be enjoyed anew.
