Golden Flowers for Little Dragon follows a dragon family's journey
through loss and grief following the death of the youngest sibling,
Little Dragon. Covering life before Little Dragon dies, his death,
and then the period of time after his death, the book supports
children preparing for or coping with the death of a sibling,
including those with rare or undiagnosed conditions. By focusing on
how Little Dragon's brother and sister are affected by his illness
and death, the book normalises confusing emotions that may seem
overwhelming to a child faced with these circumstances. The book
also includes an information section, written by a paediatric
palliative care nurse, incorporating questions for children to work
through with adults. "This beautifully written story gently
explores the most difficult of topics, the death of a sibling. It
is clearly structured, allowing children to recognise themselves
and their brother or sister at different times through expected
death, immediate bereavement and into the future. I look forward to
recommending this book to families in the future and only wish it
had been around for many families in the past." Dr Jo Griffiths,
Consultant in Paediatric Palliative Medicine & Community Child
Health, Swansea Bay University Health Board.

This volume approaches the fascinating figure of Iolo Morganwg -
stonemason, poet and literary forger - from three distinct but
interrelated angles. They all take as their starting point Iolo
Morganwg's 'marginality' within mainstream literary society both in
London and in Wales and demonstrate the strategies that he used to
overcome the frustrations of his situation. Iolo's notoriety as a
literary forger provides the context for the first discussion in
the volume, which considers his efforts to pass on his own work as
that of famous Welsh writers of the past. This chapter looks at how
important the editorial apparatus with which Iolo surrounded his
forgeries was to his attempt to ensure their satisfactory
reception. Secondly, two collections of printed books owned by Iolo
and containing marginal commentary in his hand are explored. The
discussion here demonstrates Iolo's keen interest in the forging of
a path for the Welsh language within the developing public domain
of the regional eisteddfodau and also his complex personal
relations with some of the more successful authors of his day.
Iolo's vulnerability and marginality within the context of a Welsh
public sphere are both brought to the fore in this chapter.
Finally, the volume turns to the marginalia left by Iolo on letters
within his collection of correspondence, showing his extraordinary
creativity and bringing to attention for the first time some of his
unpublished work in the fields of Welsh and English poetry and on
matters relating to the Welsh language.
Deep in the Surrey Hills, a young mabbit bravely enters the
greatest race of the year. But with Rabbit Ruthie, Rabbit Ron and
Rabbit Ralph as his competition, who will win the Easter Bunny
race?
Meet Emily. She is being bullied by a group of children at school.
She describes how this makes her feel, think and act. Eventually,
she finds ways to help herself and also realises that she can get
help from other people - both adults and other children. As well as
the perspective of the child being bullied, this guide for children
aged 7-11 portrays the view of bystanders and the bully,
emphasising the difference everyone can make in a bullying
situation. Based on the latest research in anti-bullying
interventions and written in collaboration with leaders of the
field, the book offers practical, tried-and-tested strategies for
the prevention of bullying.
This three-volume edition of the correspondence of Iolo Morganwg
offers unique insights into the career and works of one of the most
creative and influential figures in the history of modern Wales. A
total of 1, 230 letters vividly reveal the extent of his
multifarious interests and the diverse networks of friends,
acquaintances, and enemies who brought both blessing and curses
into his turbulent life. One of the finest exponents of the
epistolary arts of his own day, Morganwg comes across in the
letters as a garrulous, digressive figure, warm-blooded in his
patriotism, devoted to his native tongue and its literature, and
implacably opposed to injustice and cruelty. This fully annotated
edition provides fascinating reading for anyone interested in Welsh
society, the world happenings of Romanticism, and the literature of
Britain and Wales.
Dyma olygiad o anterliwt gan Huw Jones, Glanconwy, o gyfnod
cythryblus y Chwyldro Ffrengig. Cyhoeddwyd y testun ym 1798, ond ni
chafodd unrhyw sylw gan ysgolheigion yr anterliwt yn ystod yr
ugeinfed ganrif, ac mae'r golygiad hwn yn dwyn drama newydd sbon
i'r amlwg mewn anterliwt sy'n adrodd hanes cwymp brenin a brenhines
Pabyddol ac unbeniaethol Ffrainc. Ynghyd a'r golygiad o'r
anterliwt, cyflwynir yn y gyfrol destun rhai o faledi a cherddi Huw
Jones, i ddwyn bardd na chafodd fawr sylw hyd yma i olwg y cyhoedd
unwaith eto.
