Western Wildfire — Gruffudd Ap Cynan, The Fighting Flame Against the Normans

Disgrifiad Saesneg / English Description

Imagine the scene: on a headland not far from Dublin, a mother and her young son look out to sea. On the horizon, they can make out a range of mountains. “Gwynedd,” she tells her son. “There is your father's kingdom – teyrnas Cynan. He had to flee, leaving his kingdom – but one day you will return. You will become King of Gwynedd!”

Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review

It was on that dream that Gruffudd ap Cynan was brought up. The dream came true – he crossed the sea to Wales with an army from Dublin who fought to regain his kingdom. But that journey was not a smooth one – between confronting Welsh enemies and Norman fraud and brutality, it was a long and hard struggle. yet, passion and determination filled his spirit. He was the wildfire from the west ... Gwres o’r Gorllewin , the original Welsh version of Western Wildfire , won the Literature Medal at the Bangor National Eisteddfod, 1971. 'a very special Welsh novel – the feeling is that the author has 'lived' Gruffudd’s long and tortured imprisonment with him ... The characterization and reflection are brilliant, and the portrait of Gruffudd ap Cynan is a masterpiece.' – Islwyn Ffowc Elis
