A nice association copy of the first monograph about Rhys Davies, inscribed by his friend and early champion. Good. Unusual. Dubbed 'the Welsh Chekhov', Rhys Davies (1901-1978; OBE) was a prolific and prize-winning author, who chronicled working class life, especially of industrial Wales and who was known predominantly for his short stories. David Rees (1928-2004) was a Welsh journalist, critic and, disparately, a scholar of both Welsh history and letters and international relations. He played an important role in situating Davies in the C20th Welsh literary landscape: in 1959 he published a "laudatory article" in the periodical Wales, 'Rhys Davies: Professional Author,' and would go on to write, this, the first monograph on Davies for the Writers of Wales series.
