Named The Greatest Welsh Novel of all time.

Caradog Prichard (1904-80) was born in the slate-quarrying town of Bethesda, in north-west Wales. He moved to London, and after the Second World War became a sub-editor on the foreign desk at the Daily Telegraph. During this time he wrote four prize-winning odes and this exceptional novel, which has posthumously been named The Greatest Welsh Novel of all time.
