The internationalbestselling winner of the National Book Award and the basis for the Academy Awardwinning film directed by John Ford. Huw Morgan remembers the days when his home valley was prosperous, verdant, and beautifulbefore the mines came to town. The youngest son of a respectable mining family in South Wales, he is now the only one left in the valley, and his reminiscences tell the story of a family and a town both defined and ruined by the mines. Huws story is both joyful and heartrendinga portrait of a place and a people existing now only in memory. Full of memorable characters, richly crafted language, and surprising humor, How Green Was My Valley is the first of four books chronicling Huws life, including the sequels Up into the Singing Mountain, Down Where the Moon is Small, and Green, Green My Valley Now. The reader emerges from these tense pages strangely aglow with sharing the happiness of the characters... The simplicity of the language and its delicately strange flavor give the book added charm.
