Review
I hope that this book brings an iconic Welsh figure to a wider audience. Using a fictional character in the same battalion as Hedd Wyn, we learn about the life and death of the celebrated poet who died before he was chaired at the 1917 Eisteddfod. Dannys life contrasts beautifully with Ellis Evans (Hedd Wyns real name), as one comes from the coal valleys, while the other is a farmer in the North. Danny speaks no Welsh, but he learns an appreciation of words and language from his friendship with Ellis. Each vicariously experiences aspects of life through the other. Starting at the end and flashing backwards is a moving and effective opening. It will touch readers of all ages, as will the detailed descriptions of life for the common soldier in the trenches. Ideal as a class text to support language, history or the Cwricwlwm Cymreig.
