Reviews

The chosen stories were unfamiliar to me, which added to the pleasure of the collection, as did the close identification of the area from which the tale originated. - Sally Owen, Gwales

Blurb

High on the slopes of Plynlimon, a wild and windy mountain almost in the middle of Wales, are three springs, each of which gives birth to a river. Now two of these rivers, the Wye and the Severn, are quite silly rivers - they rush off down the mountainside to look for the sea in the middle of England which as we all know is probably the daftest place they could look.
There is also a Welsh version available.
