As well as being one of the most significant poets in his field, Nigel Jenkins has won acclaim in other genres, most notably for his history of the Welsh in India, Gwalia in Khasia, which won the Arts Council of Wales Book of the Year award. Menna Baines, who is well-known as a former editor of Barn, will take prime responsibility for the Welsh language volume, and assisting and guiding the editors is John Davies who acts as editorial consultant.

The appearance of these handsome volumes represents an important achievement, or, more accurately, several important achievements. The standard of the diverse entries is high - meriting praise all around for the editors and contributors. The production quality is high, auguring well for the Press - as does, most especially, the simultaneous appearance of Welsh and English editions.
