In the 1930s the makers of Quicka Bara Brith included poster stamps for the younger collectors within their products. One series depicted scenes from Welsh Fairy Tales. Each stamp came in its own little cellophane envelope. The first five stamps from the set showed scenes from The Golden Leek, The Old Man of Llanfair, The Kindly Old Woman, The Broken Wagon and the Lazy Scarecrow; story that have entertained Welsh children for generations. These stories were written anonymously by Huw Puw Caru, as one of his first paid commissions.
