Hiraeth: The Complete Collection

From the dragon's heart of the South Wales Valleys, Huw ap Dewi delivers the definitive collection of Welsh storytelling. Hiraeth: The Complete Collection gathers 157 stories, poems and tales spanning two millennia of a nation that refused to be silenced.Walk the pit roads of Merthyr where men spoke in coal dust. Stand at Cilmeri where a prince fell. Hear the bells at Aberfan still ringing at 9:13. Drink with a dragon called Derek and an alien named Zorgon. Cofiwch Dryweryn. Cofiwch Aberfan.This is Wales as it has been, as it is, and as it will always be: the iron and the coal, the saints and the rebels, the rugby pitches and the chapels, the language they tried to ban, the places they tried to drown, the songs that carried further than the swords that tried to silence them.For anyone who has ever felt the pull of Welsh soil, the ache of leaving, or the fierce pride of standing on a mountain knowing exactly who you are.Yma o hyd.
