Product Overview
How Green Was My Valley is Richard Llewellyn's bestselling -- and timeless -- classic, as well as the basis of a beloved film. As Huw Morgan is about to leave home forever, he reminisces about the golden days of his youth when South Wales still prospered, when coal dust had not yet blackened the valley. Drawn simply and lovingly, with a crisp Welsh humor, Llewellyn's characters fight, love, laugh, and cry, creating an indelible portrait of a people. Looking back, where difficult days are faced with courage and the valleys swell with the sound of Welsh voices, it becomes clear that there is nowhere so green as the landscape of his own memory.
This book is in stunning shape. It appears to have never been read, or maybe read only once. Some light discoloration on the block of pages, but the interior pages are clean and straight.
Dust jacket has small tear on spine. Book boards are clean and undamaged.
Unsure of the print date, the existence of an ISBN suggests the print date is 1972 or later. This dust jacket design, by Jim McMullan, is unusual in the market.
