Fflur Dafydd is an award winning novelist, singer-songwriter and musician. Although predominantly publishing in Welsh, she also writes in English. She records in Welsh, and her work is regularly played on Radio Cymru. ==Early life== Born in 1978, she is the daughter of eminent Welsh poet Menna Elfyn, who has authored over 20 books of poetry, prose, academic & educational works. As a playwright, Menna has also produced short films and has presented programmes for the BBC, HTV and S4C. She was made Poet Laureate for the Children of Wales in 2002.〔(Menna Elfyn web page )〕 Fflur grew up in Llandysul, a Welsh-speaking community, and although she received the majority of her education through the medium of Welsh, she chose to study English in Higher Education. She studied at Aberystwyth University, graduating in English, and it was while she was here that she first came to prominence, in 1999, when, as a student she won the Literature Medal at the Urdd National Eisteddfod at Lampeter. This success led to the publication of "Y Gwir Am Gelwydd" (''The Truth About Lies''), a collection of 12 poems and 5 short stories. After graduating at Aberystwyth she gained an MA in Creative Writing from the University of East Anglia in 2000,〔(UEA Alumni )〕 followed by a PhD on the poetry of R.S. Thomas from Bangor University in 2001. Today Fflur is highly successful in the very different fields of both literature and contemporary music, such that some people have failed to realise that this is one and the same person.〔(Interview )〕 She now lives in Carmarthen, but travels widely with her work. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fflur Dafydd」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
