The Swan and the Cauldron

Disgrifiad Cymraeg / Welsh Description

Dyma'r drydedd nofel yn y drioleg sy'n dilyn The Thirty-third Owl a The Cry of the Red Kite. Fel y ddwy stori arall, mae wedi'i lleoli yng Nghymru ac yn cynnwys Rose (sy'n dair ar ddeg), ei theulu a'i ffrindiau mewn antur cyffrous, llawn hud a lledrith. Unwaith eto, ysbrydolwyd y stori gan hanes, iaith a chwedlau Cymru - gyda phwyslais ar gerddoriaeth y tro hwn.

Disgrifiad Saesneg / English Description

This is the third and (possibly!) last novel in the trilogy that includes The Thirty-third Owl and The Cry of the Red Kite. Like the two previous titles, it is set in Wales and features thirteen-year-old Rose, her family and friends in a thrilling, fast-paced magical adventure which takes inspiration from Welsh history, language and myths, with music a particular theme this time.

Thirteen-year-olds Rose and Eddie have arrived at a remote cottage in the very depths of the Mid Wales countryside. They've come to visit Rose's Aunt Sal. But she's not there.

It follows The Thirty-Third Owl and The Cry of the Red Kite.
