The English are Germanic (Angles; Saxons) in a partitioned France (Normandy; Aquitaine; Anjou; Plantagenet north of the Channel) ruled by Germans & Danes (House of Herzogtum Sachsen-Coburg Und Gotha, family name Wettin, & House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glucksberg, family name Battenberg), who today speak a modern international medium commonly referred to as 'English' but these days 'American' would be more apt.
The Welsh, together with their compatriots the Cornish, are Britons of the west, they may have lost the crown, orb & sceptre of this ancient land, but theirs is the final resting place of the pre Anglo-Saxon Brythonic language & culture of their island home.
Former rentpayers in the Franco-Germanic (e)state, just having taken over the lease of their semi-detached house from the absentee landlord who takes their money for redistribution amongst the rich acolytes of the south-east, leaving them to fend for themseves with hands tied to live on pittances called grants; whilst there are positive thinking visionaries, patriots who wish to take over the freehold of a detached home with hands untied to set themselves up with their families within the forseeable future, away from interfering neighbours and their lackeys, so that they can create a healthy & wealthy dynamic of their own far from the source of their present disease, no more starved of vitamins & protein and free to breathe the fresh air to fill the lungs and strengthen the heart. If Scotland thinks it can do it, the Scandinavian states have done it, and particularly the Slovenians who are doing it with two thirds the population of Cymru/Wales. Fe godwn ni eto; Cymru am Byth.

Read Baarbaara's story about how she helped the Humans in their battle against a proposed "Monster Incinerator" in the beautiful South Wales Valleys.
She wrote the story to encourage children to get involved in the campaign which was already running through the various Valleys groups Uniting.
United Valleys Action Group campaigned tirelessly for over a year against the giant company Covanta, and eventually they pulled out, so Baarbaara's Tail actually comes true.

Hey, thats what Ill call you Collywobble!
Collywobble , published by Pont Books , is a heart-warming tale of a brave little collie pup by Malachy Doyle.
Working sheepdog Bess has had a litter of puppies: three are big and strong, three are good enough but Collywobble is the most shivery, wobbly little scrap youre ever likely to see. Nobody wants him! Farmer Joe agrees to keep him on the farm but hell have to earn his keep.
When Bess and Farmer Joe fail to return home one day, Collywobble ventures out into the snow to look for them. But when faced with a herd of runaway sheep and finding that Farmer Joes truck has skidded off the road, will the little pup really be able to save the day and prove his worth?
This beautifully illustrated picture book shows that appearances arent always what they seem and this endearing tale is sure to appeal to tender-hearted animal lovers of all ages, but especially children.
Malachy Doyles touching story is beautifully complemented by Petra Browns artwork. Her feel for the Welsh landscape and her affinity with animals makes this a picture book for children (and their mums and dads) to treasure.
Malachy Doyle grew up in Northern Ireland, and after living in Wales for many years he has now returned to Ireland. Since taking up creative writing at the age of forty, he has enjoyed an illustrious career as a childrens author, producing over 50 books, most of which have enjoyed both UK and worldwide success, and established him as one of the UKs most respected childrens authors. For more information visit his colourful website www. malachydoyle .com
Petra Brown lives in north Wales and has been a childrens book illustrator since 2006. Having illustrated books for many publishers, Collywobble , is her second collaboration with Malachy Doyle having illustrated Granny Sarah and the Last Red Kite published by Pont Books in 2006.
