Dottie Blanket and the Hilltop

Disgrifiad Cymraeg / Welsh Description

Doedd bywyd ddim yn dda i'r teulu Blanket pan gollodd Mr Blanket ei waith yn y ddinas. Ond pan wnaeth ei ferch Dottie ddymuno cael byw ar ben bryncyn gwyrddlas, ni ddychmygodd erioed y câi ei dymuniad ei wireddu!

Disgrifiad Saesneg / English Description

It's not easy when you come from Somewhere Else. Especially when you smell of trains and fish. When Mr Blanket lost his job in the city and couldn't find it again, it seemed things would never get better. 'I wish,' said Dottie, closing her eyes and trying not to wobble, 'that I lived on a bright green hilltop!' And then her wish was granted.

Wendy Meddour’s debut novel, A Hen in the Wardrobe,was shortlisted for the Branford Boase Award, selected as one of the Guardian’s ‘Outstanding Children’s Books of the Year,’ and won the John C Laurence Award for writing that ‘improves relations between the races’. Wendy wrote the bestselling Wendy Quill series for OUP - selling foreign rights to 9 countries. Like Dottie, these books are illustrated by her 13-year-old daughter, Mina May - whose debut: Wendy Quill is a Crocodile’s Bottom was described as a ‘visual inspiration’ by The Bookseller. Wendy was brought up in Aberystwyth and, though she left the hilltops to acquire a doctorate and teach English at Oxford University, she still loves to visit regularly.
