How Green Was My Valley...

Beautiful book I just finished reading. First published in 1939 - all about the mining communities in Wales before the war. Very poetic and beautifully written. Combines the vernacular with a composed elegance that is rare to find.

"vernacular"- must have missed that vocab word in my senior English class ;-) I'm just trying to struggle through the bible- and right now it's very BORING!!!
