A friend living in Wales bought me this anthology, and for that reason alone, this title is very special to me. As with any anthology, some entries spoke to me more than others. But overall, I enjoyed reading this collection. My only regret is that I had to skip all of the entries written in Welsh. I fully support efforts to revitalize the language, and I'm glad that these writers made the choice not to translate their works into English. It's just a shame that I don't read Welsh and that I can't have time to learn every language of the world.

I'm not Welsh by any stretch of thought but so many decent pieces of work in there, even the pieces in Welsh carried themselves brilliantly.

Recommended.
