A Welsh Childhood by Alice Thomas Ellis
The author grew up in Penmaenmawr on the north coast of Wales. For a child it was a place of unrestricted freedom and delight. This idiosyncratic account of her life there conjures up the spirit of the land with its saints, witches, ghosts and princes, a spirit captured by many photographs.Alice Thomas Ellis (1932-2005) was a well-known British author who lived from 1932 to 2005. The 27th Kingdom, which was nominated for a Booker Prize, and The Inn at the End of the Earth, which won the Writers' Guild Award for Best Fiction in 1991, are two of her dozen novels. She also edited books by Penelope Fitzgerald and Beryl Bainbridge and published several essays by them. She was a Royal Society of Literature Fellow.
