(In Search of Niclas y Glais)
by Hefin Wyn
(Y Lolfa, £14.99)
WELSH speakers with an interest in literature and left politics will find much material to ponder over in this impressively researched volume on the life of TE Nicholas (1879-1971) by Hefin Wyn.
Known to the people of Wales as Niclas y Glais, he was a life-long socialist and a prolific and popular Welsh language poet, Congregational minister and later a dentist.
He was born in a tiny cottage at the foot of the Preseli hills of north Pembrokeshire, a few miles from Efailwen, where the Rebecca rioters smashed their first tollgate in 1839. It was a land of independently minded people.
