The Jane Baillie Saga

Little girl feigning sleep eavesdrops on parents

A likely tale of old Yorkshire...

One of my Grandpa's stories.

Illfyfel Pier

A fragment of one of the tales of Illfyfel is translated

It was the wettest day of the year. The rain splattered down, thumping into the proud roses until they drooped their newly-humbled heads, forcing the baby bees to stay at home and swarm all over each other until their fathers gave them short, stinging sla...
