Hafren
Calon (Verlag)
9781915279828 (ISBN)
Sarah Siân Chave takes us on a journey from Hafren’s source to the sea, following Hafren’s route from Pumlumon in Wales and meandering through England, before she finds her way back home to Wales and to the sea. The journey weaves together Celtic myths, historical and personal narratives as well as Welsh words and ideas.
Hafren not only speaks to the wisdom of this river, but of all rivers, encouraging readers to understand better their place as part of nature. This book will appeal to those interested in nature, sustainability and ecology, and also to those interested in Celtic and Welsh traditions, histories and myths and is evocatively illustrated by Sarah’s sister, Rachel Collis.
Sarah Sin Chave has over thirty years' experience as a teacher and researcher in further and higher education. She is currently an associate of the education and creativity network at the University of Exeter. Her passions are sustainability, social justice and encouraging educational spaces for exploring new ways of being in the world together. Raised by a Welsh mother in the English Midlands, she enjoys learning about and connecting with her Welsh roots. She now lives in the south west of England near Hafren's banks, which she loves to explore accompanied by family and friends.
