Annotation
Description <p>The scene is North Wales: not the North Wales of the pier and the ice-cream cornet, but the dour and secret land where the Ancient Britons took refuge and where they still abide, speaking their own language and living their own life. Into this very alien country Mr Wain takes his central character, an English philologist whose motive - to begin with - is merely to acquire fluent Wlesh so that he can add to his qualifications and apply for a better job. But a winter in the hills changes all that. This country, and these people, do not offer themselves easily to the incomer; but when contact is finally made, the results are strong, lasting - and surprising.</p>
