This week my guest is Welsh author Manon Steffan Ros. Her first novel for adults Fel Aderyn (Like a Bird), reached the shortlist for Wales Book of the Year in 2010 and her novel Blasu won the Fiction Prize at the 2013 Wales Book of the Year. As well as her books for adults, Ros has found great acclaim in her writing for young adults and children. Ros translated 'Llyfr Glas Nebo' into English with the title 'The Blue Book of Nebo' and it won the 2023 Yoto Carnegie Medal (the first translated book to do so). She has won the prestigious Tir Na N-Og prize for Welsh children’s literature four times, with her novels Trwy’r Tonnau (2010), Prism (2012), Pluen (2017) and Fi a Joe Allen (2019).
