Produktbeschreibung

'Heart-wrenching. A classic to be read and reread.'
Daily Telegraph

This outstanding novel tells of one boy's journey into the grown-up world. By the light of a full moon, our narrator and his friends Huw and Moi witness a side to their Welsh village they had no idea existed, and their innocence is exchanged for the shocking reality of adulthood.

'An esoteric masterpiece.'
Jan Morris, from her Foreword

'A remarkable book that recalls Under Milk Wood.'
Times Literary Supplement

'One of the great lost voices . . . For its portrayal of a vanished way of life, and for its evocation of the tearless sadness of insanity, this strange, melancholy book deserves to be widely read.'
Observer

'One of the oddest, most elusive, most haunting novels ever.'
Niall Griffiths, from his Afterword

Autorenporträt

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.
