Y Bysgodes – Cymdeithas Affrica Gogledd Cymru a Casia Wiliam

The Fish Princess by North Wales Africa Society and Casia Wiliam is our October Children’s Book of the Month.

During the summer of 2022, families from the North Wales Africa Society came together to talk about old stories and traditional tales from African countries and from Wales.

Welsh and African poets, storytellers and singers joined to share and teach. Slowly but surely, the story came to life. Author Casia Wiliam pulled it all together and got it down on paper, before entrusting illustrator Jac Jones with the drawings.

This is a brand-new story, that blends African (Ghanaian and Nigerian) and Welsh traditional folk tales.
