Hi. I’m Graham Watkins and I have spent several years researching Welsh legends and myths. It has been a wonderful project and great fun as I explored rugged mountains, mysterious castles, enchanting waterfalls and golden beaches to discover the tales that have been handed down from generation to generation. Wales is a land of mystery and being a Celtic race the Welsh are fantastic story tellers. I've collected eighty of my favourite legends together in my book 'Welsh Legends and Myths.'

That’s how I started writing. My first novel 'The Iron Masters' was an historical novel set in Merthyr during the Napoleonic Wars when Merthyr Tydfil was rearming the British Empire, fortunes were being made through other's sweat and anything was possible. Today, I am a multi genre novelist, hobby farmer and explorer. It’s all been great fun and the story isn’t over yet. I've recently published 'A White Man's War,' the story of a terrible siege during which the Scouting movement was born and 'The Sicilian Defence' a novel about a young American Woman lured to Sicily to a terrible fate.

Right now I'm working on a modern day political thriller in which terrorists, computer programmers and a big brother state fight for their very survival. Checkout my website for the latest news and details of free eBooks which I love to give away. www.grahamwatkins.info I know you'll enjoy them and come back for more.

    This is the first of Grahams series of Myths and Legends that I've read, and it was so good that I will read the others in quick order. Graham is a great storyteller and for anyone who is short of a yarn to tell, these books are ideal.
    This is the type of book that you can pick up, read a tale or two, put the book away easily at the end of the story and carry on later when you have the time and space for a few minutes reading, in fact ideal to have on your Kindle.

    It was very interesting to read as I do not know much about Legends form Wales. If you like mystery and history it would be interesting for you as you never know where is the true and where is a myth. Always curious but you cannot stop reading as it catches your heart. Liked this book!
