A Library of Wales: A Time to Laugh by Rhys Davies
A Time to Laugh is set in a coal-mining valley on the eve of the 20th century against a background of industrial unrest and social change. The old certainties of pastoral Rhondda have given way to a new age of capital and steam, and life in the Valley has been transformed by strike, riot and gruelling poverty. -- Cyngor Llyfrau Cymru
