She was the first woman to be given this honour. Y Graith tells of the book's heroine as she struggles with cruelty and poverty at the start of the twentieth century.[1] Morgan published a number of children's books in Welsh between the two World wars.
The book Y Graith was updated and republished by her daughter Catrin Puw Davies in 2000.
