Items related to A Welsh Childhood

From the Back Cover:
To Alice Thomas Ellis, the North Wales of her childhood is still home. This idiosyncratic account of her life there effortlessly conjures up the spirit of the land; its saints, princes and ghosts, its fierce godliness and gleeful lack of scruples. Haunting legends, hilarious anecdotes, and memories - fractured by time and change and recounted in her unmistakable voice - make A Welsh Childhood both touching and amusing. Patrick Sutherland has captured every mood in his exquisitely sensitive photographs: the hills, groves and meadows; the cottages, hill farms and seaside towns; the people as they work and play and the land, majestic in its solitude and austere in its beauty.
About the Author:
Dizhur was a member of the Sverdlovsk branch of the U.S.S.R. Writers Union, and won national awards. But she was denounced for much of her poetry and lived seven years in Yurmala as a refusnik, a person denied an exit visa. She was finally allowed to emigrate to the U.S. in 1987, at the age of 84.
