These eight lyrical stories take us into the heart of a Welsh mining village after the pits have closed. Set between 1950 and 2000, they are written, Under Milk Wood style, by an established UK-based author who brings us many richly observed characters: a village elder who thinks Martians are stealing her coal; a 10-year-old-child's venture into 'the house with eyes'; and secret plans hatched by regulars in the Rugby Club. This charmingly illustrated book is a reminder of the value of stories in linking us to our pasts and in preserving the wisdom and spirit of communities now fast disappearing from the modern nation. 198 x 129mm 122 pages 10 line illustrations and 1 colour photo ISBN is 978-1-916838-87-1 |
'These tender, compelling stories reveal the hidden threads which link people in this close knit community, to a powerful past.' 'As Dylan Thomas did, Carol paints pictures of Welsh village life so vividly they transport me back to the days of my childhood. Hyfryd.' |
