About the Author
Glyn Jones was born in 1905. One of the giants of twentieth-century Welsh writing, he published novels, poetry, short story collections, translations and works of criticism until his death in 1995. He received several awards for his contributions to literature in Wales. Brought up in a Welsh-speaking, chapel-going family, Glyn Jones was educated in English, which remained his primary writing language, although he read and spoke fluent Welsh. The first chairman and then vice president of Yr Academi Gymreig (English section), he was deeply concerned with supporting the literature of both languages.
Reviews
'What comes through most strongly... is this sense of delight and enjoyment; there is a miraculous fund of creativity which runs throughout the novel, full of color and prodigal of its strength.' Leslie Norris
