An English translation of Straeon y Pentan, a fascinating, humorous collection of 19 short stories and character portraits first published in Welsh in 1895. Often based on popular urban legends of the time, it comprises funny depictions of 19th century life in Wales, and although intended for fireside reading during the Victorian era, will bring warmth to modern lives too.

Mab llwyn a pherth oedd Enoc Huws, ond nid yn Sir Fon y ganwyd ef. Y frawddeg agoriadol, y nofel a'r awdur amlycaf ym myd y nofel Gymraeg. Daw Enoc Huws wyneb yn wyneb a Richard Trefor - un yn fasnachwr llwyddiannus sy'n ofnadwy o swil a'r llall yn Gapten ariannog sy'n feistr ar bwll mwyngloddio plwm ac yn dad i Susi. Mae 'na farwolaeth ar gychwyn y nofel a phriodas ar ei diwedd ond rhwng rheiny cawn gyfarfod a housekeeper, plismon, gweinidog a chrydd yn ogystal ag ambell ddihiryn ac humbug. Roedd Daniel Owen, 1836-1895, yn deiliwr yn Yr Wyddgrug ac yn disgrifio'i gymdeithas ar ddiwedd y 19eg Ganrif. Cyhoeddwyd ei nofelau fesul pennod mewn cylchgronnau a phapurau newydd: Enoc Huws a Gwen Tomos yn Y Cymro; Rhys Lewis yn Y Drysorfa.
A gloriously moving and entertaining, picaresque debut novel, about a young man’s sentimental education in late 19th-Century Europe; inspired by a real historical figure: ‘Captain’ Paul Boyton – the ‘Fearless Frogman’
One of Britain’s best-known and most loved poets, Wilfred Owen (1893–1918) was killed at age 25 on one of the last days of the First World War, having acted heroically as soldier and officer despite his famous misgivings about the war's rationale and conduct. He left behind a body of poetry that sensitively captured the pity, rage, valor, and futility of the conflict. In this new biography Guy Cuthbertson provides a fresh account of Owen's life and formative influences: the lower-middle-class childhood that he tried to escape; the places he lived in, from Birkenhead to Bordeaux; his class anxieties and his religious doubts; his sexuality and friendships; his close relationship with his mother and his childlike personality. Cuthbertson chronicles a great poet's growth to poetic maturity, illuminates the social strata of the extraordinary Edwardian era, and adds rich context to how Owen's enduring verse can be understood.
The Book of Job is about a question for all of us. Why is there suffering? Job is a personal book that speaks to each of us as we face suffering and meaninglessness. Job is a theological book that both builds on the Biblical Worldview and prepares its readers for the Gospel. Job is a philosophical book that critically examines solutions to this question. It is a book centered around a philosophical dialogue. It requires us to find an answer by going deeper in our understanding of the meaning of good and evil. Job's friends call him to repent of fruit sin but his Friend calls him to repent of root sin.
