Enwogion o Fri: Billy - Bywyd Pwerus Billy Boston

Publisher: Llyfrau Broga Books

Dyma’r llyfr diweddaraf yng nghyfres lwyddiannus ‘Enwogion o Fry’. Mae’r gyfres yn gwneud gwaith gwych o dynnu sylw at straeon bywyd pobl ddylanwadol o Gymru a fyddai fel arall, o bosib, yn mynd ar goll yn nhreigl amser. Mae hanes y chwaraewr rygbi Billy Boston yn enghraifft arbennig o hyn. Mae’r llyfr yn llwyddo i gyfleu stori bywyd Billy trwy ddefnyddio iaith addas a lluniau lliwgar, gafaelgar. Mae gwirionedd ac annhegwch yr hiliaeth a brofodd Billy yn ystod ei fywyd yn amlwg, ac eto dathliad yw’r llyfr hwn o’r ffordd roedd Billy wedi goresgyn yr heriau hyn a llwyddo i fod yn un o chwaraewyr rygbi mwyaf llwyddiannus Cymru.


This is the latest offering in the ‘Welsh Wonders’ series. These books have done an important job of shining a light on the lives of influential figures in Wales’ history that may otherwise have gone unnoticed. The story of Billy Boston the Welsh rugby player is a particularly good example. The book manages to convey the story of Billy’s life through using age-appropriate language along with appealing illustrations. The truth and the unfairness of the racism that Billy experienced is obvious and yet this book is a celebration of the way Billy overcame these challenges, still succeeding to become one of Wales’ most successful rugby players.
