Glyn Jones Livres

Hen benillion, a form of folk poetry from Britain, has roots dating back to the sixteenth century and earlier. These short verses, often accompanied by harp music, have been integral to Welsh social gatherings, blending proverbs, commentary, and local lore. Once at risk of disappearing, their preservation was aided by an eighteenth-century Celtic antiquarian movement. Written in free verse, this people's poetry reflects the rich cultural heritage and collective memory of the communities that have cherished it for centuries.

Anne Glyn- Jones opens up the secret world of the interceptors of German Morse Code signals during World War II. Leaving her girls boarding school with romantic ideas about joining the navy as a Wren, Anne had no idea that she would be working for the mysterious 'Station X', which we now know to be Bletchley Park. Round the clock shifts, bed bugs, rats and poor diet took its toll, as well as the ongoing lack of recognition from the Navy hierarchy. Morse Code Wrens of Station X is a very personal memoir of a young woman's experiences of war time service, as well as providing fascinating insights into the daily realities of the battle for military intelligence superiority.
