Here is a short description: The follow up novel to Cysgod y Cryman following the lives of the Lleifior family. The digitally remastered recording of the 1964 original.

This novel is considered a classic. It was first published in 1953. Islwyn Ffowc Elis was born in Wrexham on November 17, 1924 – just over a 100 years ago.
