Michael Harvey

Michael Harvey was born in Glasgow and, by the age of 21, had found himself in Wales where he has been ever since. Michael caught the storytelling bug and has toured theatres, schools and village halls all over the world. He has won awards for hisstorytelling performances and enjoys collaborating with musicians, dancers and visual artists.

When lockdown happened Michael had already self-published a book of Welsh folk tales that immediately became an amazon kindle #1 bestseller so he set-to to re-create Culhwch and Olwen, the biggest story in the Mabinogion, as a YA novel. And here it is—Pig Boy!

When he’s not writing the mythology of Wales for today’s audience he is walking the land where the stories happened, in the company of friends, weaving their way through the songlines of Wales.
