A second novel about the magical and mysterious Bwganod and their human friends who save the inhabitants of Nant-y-Ceirw from destruction at the hands of evil witches. A sequel to the Tir na n-Og prize-winning novel Who's Afraid of the Bwgan-Wood?; for children aged 9-11 years. 20 black-and-white illustrations.
In this thought-provoking book, sequel to Who's Afraid of the Bwgan Wood?, the 1996 Tir na n-Og winner, the mischievous Bwganod, Tati and Daio, fight against the evil Shadow and the Power of Don't Care unleashed by the disastrous spell of the meddling incompetent witch Gwrach y Rhibyn and her new acquaintances the Half-elven.
Nant-y-Ceirw, home of the Ancient Ones since before human history, is in danger, threatened by crime, violence and pollution, bullying and cruelty to animals.
It is a tense and exciting story of magic, mythology and reality, where humans and magical folk eventually come together to re-claim their worlds and where quarrelling, destruction and 'don't care' are replaced by friendship, healing and hope for the future.
Perhaps you agree with the doctor, 'Nobody believes in fairy stories any more?'; reading The Scary Monster Clean-up Gang will make you think twice.
