Tales of Tynant

An 11-acre plot of land on a remote hillside in mid-Wales and its current guardians come together to witness the everyday, sometimes magical, sometimes bizarre goings on; from mating frogs and marauding otters in the pond to the daredevil swallows and RAF pilots above; from Roland the debonair pheasant to Dixie the drag queen who lost their way. Tina Hughes’ stories and illustrations bring to life an uplifting escape to the much-loved land of Tynant.

Tina Hughes was born and raised in Gloucestershire. The author re-located in 1986 with her husband and son to Bahrain, where she spent many years working as a teacher assistant in a primary school and then later established an art studio where she taught adults various techniques, chiefly involving stained glass and mosaics. During a marriage breakdown, Tina moved back to the UK, where she now lives with her new husband on their 11-acre plot on a remote hillside in Wales.
