Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review

A dramatic beginning plunges us into Grandpa Brian’s mystery story, told in vivid flashback images. Echoes of various children’s classic tales abound: rival boy gangs, gloomy woods, murky waterways, a dilapidated mansion, a ‘witch’, a slavering dog, an elaborate treasure chest, a servant from far away shores, and even a connection with a great historical figure – all this happening sixty years ago in Wales! The conversational narration creates infectious energy to keep us turning pages, complimented by lively illustrations - especially the hastily improvised ‘Bloomers Flag’! In the final section, Top Tips for Kids, today’s readers are encouraged to explore their practical skills. Maybe some might leave their computers for a while to return to a virtual bygone age when simple, creative skills were an enjoyable challenge to youngsters, keeping them occupied and in the fresh air for hours!
