Description

---

This vintage book contains Edward Thomas's 1905 account of Wales, being a detailed illustration of its people, countryside, and customs. A fascinating and insightful look at early-twentieth century Wales, this volume is highly recommended for those with an interest in this beautiful country, and is not to be missed by fans of Thomas's work. Philip Edward Thomas (1878 - 1917) was an Anglo-Welsh writer. Thomas is generally considered to be a war poet, although most of his poems do not directly concern his war experiences. The chapters of this volume include: "Preliminary Remarks on Men, Authors, and Things in Wales", "Entering Wales", "A Farmhouse Under a Mountain, a Fire, and some Firesiders", "Two Ministers, a Bard, a Schoolmaster, an Inn-keeper, and Others", "Wales Month by Month", "A Note on Mr. Fowler's Landscapes, by Alexander J. Finberg", etcetera. Many texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
