Publisher Description: WINNER OF THE GREATEST WELSH NOVEL This outstanding novel tells of one boy's journey into the grown-up world. By the light of a full moon our narrator and his friends Huw and Moi witness a side to their Welsh village life that they had no idea existed, and their innocence is exchanged for the shocking reality of the adult world. One Moonlit Night is one of Britain's most significant and brilliant pieces of fiction, a lost contemporary classic that deserves rediscovery. |
Contributor Bio(s): Prichard, Caradog: - Caradog Pritchard (1904-80) was born in the slate-quarrying town of Bethesda, in north-west Wales. He moved to London, and after the Second World War became a sub-editor on the foreign desk at the Daily Telegraph. During this time he wrote four prize-winning odes and this exceptional novel, which has posthumously been named The Greatest Welsh Novel of all time. |
