The Sky Over Wales (Honno Autobiography)

The early childhood days of award-winning author Siân Jamesin are beautifully illustrated in this touching account that tells of the night she first sees the Milky Way; the day electricity comes to the Waun; the afternoon Dan and Raymond play Wolves and Travellers; the evening the first bombers drone overhead, and the day she witnesses an event which will change her world forever. Through her charming vignettes of childhood in the 1930s, she speaks on her individualistic and affectionate family, and of familiar scenes and of unexpected pleasures in the countryside around her home, with both the freshness of a child's vision and the wry and knowing smile of hindsight.
