It emerged from his love of Wales and the poetry of Dylan Thomas. Now, with the help of magical contributions from the great and the good of Wales — including Georgia Ruth, Cerys Matthews, Rob Brydon, Rhys Ifans and honorary Welshman Eddie Izzard — we’ve put together some lovely storytelling from Ivor’s classic adventures. There’s also a story read by the great man himself, my dad, and a new story written and read by me. If any money should come from this curious venture — and we hope it does — we’ll send it all to LATCH, a wonderful children’s cancer charity based in Wales.”
