Life and Times of a Valley Boy in Wales

Om Life and Times of a Valley Boy in Wales

A Welsh great grandfather's loving memoir, celebrating family and Welsh 20th century working class life. Reading Gareth Lyn Jones' memoir takes you back more than three quarters of a century and sets you down in a coal mining community in South Wales. His writing is honest and often lyrical, resulting in an un-canny feeling that Gareth is a character in Under Milk Wood and that Dylan Thomas must have met him sometime in a pub sharing stories about working class life in Wales. Gareth's granddaughter, Sinead Robinson-John, writes that her Bamp is honourable, decent, and kind. In preparation for writing the foreword Sinead spoke with Gareth's children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, and in her introduction she represents them all, sharing stories as Gareth shares stories, drawing you in as if they too are Under Milk Wood. Life and Times of a Valley Boy in Wales is a great read. It will tug at your heart strings and make you smile.
