Crimes of Cymru
(2023)Stories of Cambrian Crime
(A book in the British Library Crime Classics series)
An anthology of stories edited by Martin Edwards
An anthology of classic mysteries by Welsh authors or set in Wales edited by Diamond Dagger and Edgar-Award winner Martin Edwards.
Mystery and murder run amok amidst ominous peaks and icy lakes. In hushed valleys, venom flows through villages harbouring grievances which span generations. The landscapes and locales of Wales (“Cymru”, in the Welsh language) have fired the imagination of some of the greatest writers in the field of crime and mystery fiction.
Presenting fourteen stories ranging from 1909 through to the 1980s, this new anthology celebrates a selection of beloved Welsh-born authors such as Cardiff’s Roald Dahl and Abergavenny’s Ethel Lina White, as well as lesser-known yet highly skilled writers such as Cledwyn Hughes and Jack Griffith. Alongside these home-grown tales, this collection also includes a handful of gems inspired by, or set in, the cities and wilds of Wales by treasured British authors with an affinity for the country, such as Christianna Brand, Ianthe Jerrold and Michael Gilbert.
Genre: Mystery
