Summary

Wales – The Poetry Of - An Introduction.  This proud nation with it’s long history; sometimes rough, hewn from bleak landscapes, sometimes gently soft from its comforting voices has produced a long succession of artists and poets.  In the latter category Louis MacNeice most probably stands pre-eminent, his words and phrasing are on a plane few can equal and most are in awe of.  But in this volume we do put forward others who have their own words and voice to add to this rich tapestry.  Wilfred Owen, Henry Vaughan, George Herbert and Edward Thomas amongst them. Many of these titles are on our audiobook version which can be purchased from iTunes, Amazon and other digital stores.
Available since: 09/24/2013.

    What do you do for a fifth anniversary? We decided to have a collection of short works with a difference. We challenged our readers to find any short works which had 'five' in the title - in any language. They have done us proud, and the collection extends to three volumes of short stories, poems, fairy tales, memoirs, non-fiction and bible readings, in six languages.  This is the third volume.
