A year's worth of recommendations for reading both classic and new literature from Wales, with discussion questions for book clubs included.

Alex Johnson invites you to join him on his year of reading Welshly on a warm and witty journey through fifty-two books from Wales and about Wales. From novels to poetry to nonfiction, Johnson explores a rich and eclectic spread of books. Covering famous favorites such as Dylan Thomas's Under Milk Wood and Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin's Ivor the Engine, to contemporary hits such as Manon Steffan Ros's The Blue Book of Nebo and Tiffany Murray's My Family and Other Rock Stars, Alex's Reading Welshly list spans decades and genres. It's not just about mines and farming (though there are plenty of those), but a window onto Welsh culture in all its complexity and diversity. Discover with Johnson how Welsh books both reveal modern Wales and speak to universal themes of love, social struggle, and identity.

Complete with discussion questions about each book and space to chart your own Reading Welshly progress, this is the ideal companion for readers and book groups to discover Wales through its rich and varied literature.
