  • Y Lolfa è una società di stampa e casa editrice gallese con sede a Tal-y-Bont, Ceredigion, nel Galles centrale. Pubblica una grande varietà di libri in gallese e inglese. Fornisce inoltre un servizio di stampa commerciale. Y Lolfa è stata fondata nel 1967 da Robat Gruffudd. Ora è una società a responsabilità limitata gestita dai figli del fondatore, Garmon Gruffudd (amministratore delegato) (direttore generale), e Lefi Gruffudd (direttore generale) con Paul Williams come direttore di produzione. Utilizzando il nuovo metodo di stampa offset, ha iniziato a produrre materiale sia per il gruppo attivista Cymdeithas ya Iaith Gymraeg (The Welsh Language Society), a cui era vagamente associato, sia per le sue pubblicazioni che includevano Lol, la rivista satirica da cui l'azienda ha derivato il nome. La compagnia ha gradualmente ampliato la varietà delle sue pubblicazioni includendo serie popolari per bambini, romanzi contemporanei, diari, tutor umoristici per studenti gallesi, una vasta gamma per i turisti in Galles e un numero crescente di titoli sportivi gallesi. Ha adottato una politica deliberata non adattando libri di altre lingue al fine di sostenere artisti e autori gallesi. Fu strettamente coinvolta con la pubblicazione di Papur Pawb, uno dei primi documenti della comunità gallese, nel 1974. Y Lolfa ha pubblicato Llyfr y Ganrif (Il libro del secolo) in associazione con la National Library of Wales nel 1999. Ha celebrato 50 anni di attività nel 2017 e ora impiega ventidue dipendenti a tempo pieno, pubblicando circa 80 titoli ogni anno. (it)

It is now an independent, limited company run by the founder's sons, Garmon Gruffudd (managing director) and Lefi Gruffudd (general editor), with Paul Williams as production manager. Using the new small offset printing method, it started producing material both for the activist Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg (The Welsh Language Society), with which it was loosely associated, and for its own publications which included , the satirical magazine from which the company's name was derived. The company gradually expanded the variety of its publications to include popular series for children, contemporary novels, diaries, humorous tutors for Welsh learners, a range for tourists to Wales and a Welsh sports title. It has adopted a deliberate policy of not adapting books from other languages in order to support Welsh artists and authors. It was involved with the publication of Papur Pawb, one of the first Welsh community papers, in 1974. Y Lolfa published Llyfr y Ganrif (The Book of the Century) in association with the National Library of Wales in 1999.
