The Storm Child

Oxford Reading Tree: TreeTops Greatest Stories

Illustrated by James Gifford

A re-telling of the Welsh legend of Cantre’r Gwaelod, the lost area of Wales that disappeared beneath the sea. This drowned land was once a pleasant and prosperous kingdom, its low-lying fields protected from the waves by the sea wall. But only Mererid, the storm child, knows that the tide-gates are failing and the next storm will breach the sea wall. As clouds and ravens build overhead, she must race to save her friends and kingdom before it’s too late.
