This anthology of Welsh short stories offers a chronological overview of the form in Wales during the last century. Twenty-five English-language writers provide one story each to produce an entertaining and varied anthology. Tales of horror, satire, humor, war, the aristocracy, love, madness, industry, the countryside, politics, and sport are all covered. The styles are varied, from the lyrical to the grittily realistic, as are the settings, from Wales in the early 20th century to contemporary South Africa. Contributors include Dannie Abse, Glenda Beagan, Ron Berry, Duncan Bush, Brenda Chamberlain, Rhys Davies, Dorothy Edwards, Caradoc Evans, George Ewart Evans, Margiad Evans, Sian Evans, Geraint Goodwin, Nigel Heseltine, Richard Hughes, Emyr Humphreys, Glyn Jones, Gwyn Jones, Alun Lewis, Clare Morgan, Leslie Norris, Ifan Pughe, Alun Richards, Jaci Stephen, Dylan Thomas, and Gwyn Thomas.

The short story is popular in Wales with both readers and writers, attracting the talents of the country''s foremost authors. Here, twenty-five English-language writers provide a story each to produce an entertaining and varied anthology.

Horror, satire, humour, war, tales of the aristocracy, of navvies, love and madness, industry, the countryside, politics and sport: the stories in The Green Bridge provide an insight into the changing values of Wales and the world.

This is enjoyable reading for those who know Wales and its authors, and for newcomers to both. John Davies has previously edited The Valleys with Mike Jenkins and The Streets and the Stars with Melvyn Jones. He is himself an acclaimed poet, his most recent book being North by South.

Born in 1944, John Davies was brought up in Port Talbot, south Wales, and in Prestatyn where he taught English. He has also taught in Michigan and Washington. In 1986 The Visitor''s Book, his third collection, was joint winner of the Poetry Society''s major award, the Alice Hunt Bartlett Prize. John Davies is also a talented wood carver.
