Strange Harmony
This is a story of discovery. It describes how a Welsh choir perfected its music making by deepening the relationships between the members and healing any personal antagonism amongst them. In particular it follows the fortunes of the choir's conductor as, through parallel experiences leading the choir in various competitions and helping injured and dying miners in a horrifying mining disaster, he 'finds his soul' and deepens his understanding of the music his choir is able to make.

Lyrics and Limericks
In the ‘Land of Song and Literature’ that is Wales, what could be more natural than writing music and poetry? So this book is a collection of song lyrics and limericks. It is primarily a light-hearted look at the worlds of song writing and poetry. But it is much more than that. It is also a patchwork quilt of interviews, autobiography and mythology. Each lyric and set of limericks is preceded by prose, related (sometimes tenuously) to the reason for writing the verse. The lyrics were not written as poems, they are verses divorced from their musical settings. Are song lyrics poetry? This is a theme which runs through the book. Nine authors and songwriters were asked this question. The lis...

Mervyn Himbury: Principal and Preacher
Mervyn Himbury migrated to Melbourne, Australia, in 1959. Through the sheer force of his personality, he led the transformation of a small, impoverished Baptist seminary to the premier Baptist institution in Australia. From the humble life of a Welsh mining village, Himbury proceeded to university studies in Cardiff and then Oxford. The story begins with the cultural and religious background of Himbury’s early life as a Welsh Baptist, exploring the distinctive ethos of the institutions where he studied during and just after the Second World War.
