In the summer of 1996 the first of what was to be just two editions of a new quarterly magazine in Welsh, Y Ddraig Werdd,was published by the Wales Famine Forum. It was hoped that the new periodical, the first such publication in Welsh by a group representing immigrants, would be a means of informing Welsh speakers about an aspect of the history of Wales of which few inside or outside of their country, even professional historians, are aware. However, after two editions had appeared, it was decided to wind up the operation. This was not just because of disappointing sales, but more importantly, because of the lack of writers prepared to address the theme in the Welsh language.

We then launched The Green Dragon, using a title translated from that of the pioneering Welsh- language try out. All ten editions planned have now been published.
