Bought some books at #awwe22: Hilda Vaughan’s Harvest Home, Cecily Mackworth’s Spring’s Green Shadow (both ⁦@Honno_Clas⁩), a collection reorienting Raymond Williams as a thinker engaged with and informed by his Welshness + ⁦@kbohata⁩’s Queer Short Stories From Wales

Allen Raine was the pseudonym of the Welsh novelist Anne Adalisa Beynon Puddicombe who was born in Newcastle Emlyn.

📚Her novels had sold more than two million copies by 1912! We are so pleased to bring her work to a new generation: a thread 🧵

A 'Welsh Women's Classic', Allen Raine's 'A Welsh Witch' is set on the rugged west Wales coast. It tells the story of Catrin, at home in the natural world but shunned by her neighbours who believe her to be a witch.....

[WelshWomensClassics @Honno_Clas]

"A Welsh Witch is an ambitious novel, exploring the ways in which human resilience and empathy can make ‘a romance of rough places’, with its female characters proving, if anything more courageous, both physically and psychologically, than its men."

This is a book I must buy: Spring's Green Shadow by Cecily Mackworth, a Welsh author, poet, foreign correspondent and explorer who spent much of her life in France. It's published by Honno and spotlights Welsh village life.

[Ewan Smith @ewanandsmith]

I've been reading Spring's Green Shadow by Cecily Mackworth, recently published by @Honno_Clas. It's a brilliant read. Mackworth died in 2006 at the age of 94 after a rich (and then some) life. She lived exuberantly and poured that into her writing. 😊

@LadyRhondda @women_welsh Cecily Mackworth was a writer🖊️, she was a poet, she was a journalist🗞️: she counted Henry Miller and Dylan Thomas amongst her friends.

🍃Spring's Green Shadow is heavily based on her own experiences. Read an extract of it here on @ambobdim https://t.co/hH6wGMqJ6O

[WelshWomensClassics @Honno_Clas]

🍃Spring's Green Shadow is our latest release at Honno, & the 32nd imprint in our Welsh Women's Classics series.

📗It's a novel by Cecily Mackworth, the niece of @LadyRhondda. A huge thanks to Angela V. John of @women_welsh, without whom this would have been impossible.
