"Lovely, lovely, lovely! Here's an original book written by Morfudd Bevan about the incredible life o Siani Chickens. Brilliant drawings by Vaelriane Leblond as one would expect. We need more original books celebrating the lives of people like this."
- Simon Fisher

Shani Chickens is a gorgeously illustrated story of a real woman who lived in a cottage on Cei Bach beach in the 1880s. Images by VL are to die for (as you'd expect) accompanying this intriguing tale written by Peter Stevenson.' - Bookworms Wales
