'They say she's a real witch,' says Goronwy Hughes' grandmother, warning him of Catrin Rees, the heroine of A Welsh Witch. The sea-side village of Treswnd has elected Catrin as its scapegoat, shunning and stoning her as a witch. Catrin's loneliness is eased by a growing friendship with Goronwy, to whom she reveals the hidden wonders of the natural world. First published in 1902, A Welsh Witch explores the ways in which human resilience and empathy can make 'a romance of rough places'.

Classic Welsh woman author long overdue a revival.Probing commentary on the corrosive effects of superstition and scapegoating in small, isolated communities.Set partly in a Welsh seaside village and partly in industrial Glamorganshire, the novel includes an early fictional account of a coal-mining disaster, with colliers trapped for days underground.The author was a best seller, selling millions of copies of her eleven novels in Britain before her death. She was also very popular in the States, where early films were made of her fictions.Honno will be giving a big push to Allen Raine around the publication date as part of the marketing for their rebranded Welsh Womens Classics.
