Dylan Rhys Watkins

Dylan, a former River Cam tour guide, has lived significant parts of his life outside the UK. Born in Saudi Arabia, with children born in Sudan, his journey is shaped by adventure and exploration. Inspired by The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and Arabian Sands by his late godfather Wilfred Thesiger, Dylan’s work reflects themes of wonder and connection. The Boy and the Swan is his debut novel, and he is currently writing its sequel, The Sanguine Sands.

    The Boy and the Swan

    Dylan Rhys Watkins
    £9.99

    At dawn on the River Cam, a lonely boy saves a wounded swan. He names him Cygnus — and the world awakens. In secret, the swan begins to speak. He teaches the boy to listen to the wind and the water, to the hush of feathers and the quiet pulse of the river’s heart.
