Introduction by Jane Aaron A masterful reworking of a popular Fairy Bride legend examining the institution of marriage, motherhood and the breadth of the female experience. First published in 1948, Hilda Vaughan's classic work is considered indispensable in any consideration of Welsh feminism in the 20th century. Playing with the fairy tale theme of true love as a source of imaginative and material fertility, 'Iron and Gold' raises serious questions about conforming to social conventions versus remaining loyal to one's individuality.

Here are Lovers is the story of Laetitia Wingfield, the beautiful and bookish daughter of the local Anglicised Squire Wingfield and Gronwy Griffith, the son of one of his Welsh tenant farmers, who longs to be a classical scholar. Bored and frustrated with the restricted life of a Victorian young lady, Laetitia encounters the romance she so longs for when she becomes lost during a clandestine night-time ride and is rescued by Gronwy. Both are trapped, one by class, the other by gender, in this moving exploration of society in 19th century Wales.

In rural Radnorshire, the start of the twentieth century brings a new generation that clashes with the conservative traditionalism of an old way of life. Rhys Lloyd, with his ideal of Social Darwinism, is a dangerous figure in the village but his love for church-going Esther Bevan is deeper-rooted still. Esther suffers the casual brutality of her agricultural upbringing with an inner strength which is sorely tested by the trials of love and the land in which she lives.

A gripping Gothic tale of possession, madness and murder, Hilda Vaughan's Harvest Home (1936), is set in Abercoran on the south-west coast of Wales in the time of George III. Daniel Hafod rides home from England one fine morning to become Master of Great House after the death of his uncle. But his obsessive pride and his dark desire for the pretty dairy-maid Eiluned lead to his downfall, as he and his sailor cousin, Dan, compete for her love. A lyrical evocation of Welsh rural life, Harvest Home is also a tautly-written psychological study of a man driven mad by desire which draws on the history of wreckers then active on the Welsh sea-coast, the legend of Blodeuwedd from the Mabinogi, and superstitions associated with Nos Calangaeaf (All Hallows Eve) when spirit voices call out the names of those soon to die.
