Meet Idris, the teenage giant king on a quest to collect stories. As he travels across Wales, he encounters all manner of legends and myths, meeting a vengeful house goblin, a ghost that steals life and dwarves that have moved in beneath someone’s garden, a tea party of lady ghosts, a furry trickster goblin and many other fascinating and devious fairy folk.<\/p>

Claire will tell us how and why she chose the seventeen adventures, fairy tales and ghost stories from across Wales and why it\u2019s important to keep these stories alive for people today. She will also talk about her latest book of fiction, Tapper Watson and the Quest for the Nemo Machine<\/em>.<\/p>

For ages 8 – 12<\/p>

To help us have as many children as possible involved in this session, perhaps you can choose one of ticket types below, based on how many children you’ll be bringing with you. Thank you.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>

Claire Fayers<\/strong> grew up in south-east Wales where, thanks to her local library, she developed a lifelong obsession with myth and magic. Her books include The Accidental Pirates<\/em> (Waterstones Book of the Month, shortlisted for the Children\u02bcs Book Award), and Storm Hound<\/em> (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.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
