Disgrifiad Saesneg / English Description

Dew On The Grass , first published in 1934, was Eiluned Lewis' first novel and immediately enjoyed both popular success and critical acclaim. A semi-autobiographical account of childhood in rural Montgomeryshire in the early years of the twentieth century, Lewis' novel focuses on Lucy, nine years old, dreamy, accident-prone and acutely alive to the world around her.

Lewis went on to forge a successful career as a journalist and wrote two more novels. Editor : Katie Gramich, is Professor in English Literature at Cardiff University where she teaches modules on 'Modern Welsh Writing in English' and 'Gender in Modern Poetry' amongst others. She has written articles and books, as well as editing a number of books on Welsh writing in English and Welsh women writers.

Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review

Lewis' prose is a delight: sensuous, evocative and nostalgic. Here is a book which distils all the joys and agonies of childhood and seems to speak directly to us all of our own lost selves. First brought back into print by Honno in 2008. Now back in print under the new Welsh Women's Classics branding.
