Introduction

A light-hearted mother, a free-spirited noble patron and a blushing young sweetheart—young Twm Shôn Catti from Tregaron has it all. But one day, his mischievous temper gets the better of him and he is forced to become an outlaw. Taking to the road as Welsh incarnation of Robin Hood, Twm outwits many traps set by the arm of the law, lampoons his social betters in racy bets and defends the weak against other highway robbers. This is the story of a young man fallen from grace who eventually makes good by trusting his own wit, daring and poetic talent.
