It\u2019s a very strong and well-known brand and you\u2019d be hard pressed to come across a Welsh speaker who hasn\u2019t had some exposure to Rala Rwdins. The first book was published back in 1983 and since then we\u2019ve had a multitude of books, various resources and even a live action television series. The books continue to be popular with young children, parents and teachers and they\u2019re still selling well.

The pictures are colourful, bright and the books are all-round simple. I won\u2019t go as far as saying old-fashioned, because I think \u2018retro\u2019 is a more appropriate word. I certainly get this rush of nostalgia whenever I see them and it takes me back to crying my eyes out in Theatr Gwynedd when Strempan stormed on stage! There\u2019s plenty of humour and mischief in this book to keep the young readers happy and the books still have the same appeal as they did when they were first released. I think they are simply timeless and will continue to be enjoyed for years to come as new generations of readers are introduced to them.
