One is in everything. One lives throughout the universe and beyond...One of the most remarkable women writers of the mid-twentieth century, Margiad Evans is a key post-modern Welsh author in the English language.Written as a series of nature journals, Margiad Evans' Autobiography (1943), is an extraordinary experiment in what she called 'earth writing'. It explores in delicate and precise detail the writer's intensely-felt, even mystical relationship with the natural world. From 1941, she lived in a farmworker's cottage, Potacre, on the summit of a hill above Llangarron and in sight of the Welsh mountains. A meditation on the difficulty of translating the reality of the 'now' into words, Autobiography traces a spiritual journey towards understanding the profound connection between all living things.

Two girls, two worlds - a story with one foot in the modern world and the other in myth, legend and poetry. Seren is 14 years old and lives with her nain, having lost her single-parent mother to cancer. An only child, scarred by this early bereavement, she struggles at school. Heledd, a girl who exists in the 7th century AD and whom Seren meets in her dreams, has her own struggles in the aftermath of the Mercian war, which left almost everyone dead. Together, they help one another survive.
