Welsh Hundred

By combining a pair of diaries written a century apart, A Welsh Hundred reveals for the first time in English the genuine character of daily life in the Welsh-speaking heartlands of Middle and North Wales. In the hands of W. Ambrose Bebb, the published diary opened up a new avenue for Welsh-language literature; and Bebb's work was hailed at its debut as "e;the tour de force of a true artist.... There is nothing exactly like it to be found written in Welsh, French or English."e; This contemporary translation gives English readers their first glimpse into the joys and disappointments, struggles and achievements of "e;real life"e; in Wales as lovingly portrayed by one of her favorite sons.
