T. J. Llewelyn (Thomas Jeffery Llewelyn) Prichard

Born around 1789 or 1790, Thomas Jeffery Llewelyn Prichard was a Welsh travelling actor and author. Sources describe him as being from the Builth area, and they show that he wrote under the name T. J. Llewelyn Prichard.

He is most closely associated with The Adventures and Vagaries of Twm Shon Catti (1828), a work that helped fix the folk hero Twm Siôn Cati in popular print culture and is often discussed as an early Welsh novel in English. He also wrote poetry and non-fiction, including Welsh Minstrelsy and The Heroines of Welsh History, showing a broad interest in Welsh legend, literature, and national history.
