My mother, Margaret Jones, who has died aged 105, was an illustrator of books that retold the myths and legends of Wales, though also of other cultures.
After a late start to her career – at the age of 60 – she illustrated more than 20 books, including, most notably, a new version of The Mabinogion (1988), a collection of the earliest Welsh prose stories featuring a hand-drawn map of Wales that has become a favourite in schoolrooms and homes.
