It is spring, moonless night in the small town, starless and bible-black...' Under Milk Woodtells the story of a Welsh village during one spring day. It is populated by some of the best-loved characters in British literature.

Lyrical, funny, moving, it is rooted in place but with a universality that has spoken to generations of readers. A Welsh epic, a work of poetic genius, a modern classic. 'A tour de force of oral poetry which oozes word pictures and onomatopoeic musicality'Guardian
