Claire Fayers and Manon Steffan Ros talk to Hanan Issa

Welsh Myths and Magic

Hay Festival 2025, 

Two acclaimed Welsh authors discuss their work with the National Poet of Wales. Claire’s Welsh Giants, Ghosts & Goblins was Waterstones Welsh Book of the Year 2024. She mixes stories from all parts of Wales, reimagined through her own, idiosyncratic lens, with the character of Idris the Giant weaving them together.

Manon’s The Blue Book of Nebo explores the aftermath of a worldwide catastrophe through the eyes of a small nuclear family in a remote village in near-future Wales. Manon has won Wales Book of the Year as well as being four-times winner of the Tir na N’Og Welsh children’s literature award.
