Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Times are hard. Perhaps not quite hard enough for Arthur to awaken from his long sleep, but other characters from mythology and history may still be here to lend a hand. Are you having trouble with an unscrupulous landlord? Is your village or wildlife reserve being threatened by a multi-national corporation? Is funding being cut for the very services that allow your community to thrive, or function at all?Throughout history, from the Chartist movement to the formation of the NHS via the Rebecca Riots, Welsh communities have been at their most fierce when they are under threat, and despite the oppression of Welsh language and culture over the centuries, Wales has endured. We are still here, even if now and again we need a little help from the supernatural. That might come from one of Arthur's knights, or a helpful saint. It could be one of the fair folk, a dark little coblyn from the mines, or even a monstrous giant. They are all still here, and perhaps can be persuaded to help out in our time of need.They are Still Here (Maen Nhw Yma O Hyd) is an anthology of fantasy tales of resistance and resilience. The threats will be modern, but the resolution will be rooted in the strange and fabulous mythological history of Wales.
