Established in the mid-60’s Y Lolfa pledged to make Welsh books lively, colourful and provocative. Since then they have published Welsh, English & Bi-lingual editions covering multiple genres – from language and linguistics to politics, food and drink and Sport – all with a Welsh bent.
Promotion and learning of the Welsh language is at the core of their publishing with The Welsh Thesaurus and Welsh In Your Pocket being perennial bestsellers.
The ‘In Your Pocket’ series has developed to include other Celtic languages Gaelic In Your Pocket, Cornish In Your Pocket and Irish In Your Pocket all aimed at encouraging everyday use.
