Informative and direct. The book is primarily targeted at Welsh children. Some of the stories were new to me - I want to read more about Twm Sion Cati. A good introduction to some Welsh stories for young readers. The vocabulary is simple and at times dry. It was nice that the book mentioned locations by their name - that should help to ground the stories for Welsh readers.
