I loved Cathy Faulkner’s verse novel Digging For Victory so I can’t wait to read this one set after WW1 exploring the aftermath it’s had in the village it is set. It centres around the search for stained-glass window from the church, that was hid during the war. @fireflypress.bsky.social

This one of the first two in a new Firefly Classics series, a re-issuing of classic Welsh writing. I am a huge Catherine Fisher fan. Her storytelling is superb and this one I’ve yet to read is a spooky tale steeped in folklore set on the Gwent levels. @fireflypress.bsky.social
