Autor

Cledwyn Hughes was an Anglo-Welsh author of short stories, novels, and narrative non-fiction. He wrote for more than 30 years across a wide range of genres including crime, 'Celtic Noir', children's and topographical writing. Born in Llansantffraid, Montgomeryshire, he worked as a hospital pharmacist in the north of England before settling down in Wales to write full-time. His work has been featured in magazines such as Suspense, as well as in collections like Woodrow Wyatt's English Stories. He was also a regular contributor to the BBC. He is best known for the novel The Civil Strangers (1950) and the macabre novella The Inn Closes for Christmas(1947), which remained in print until shortly before his untimely death. His contemporaries called him a 'brilliant young Welshman whose short stories have already established his reputation' (The Spectator).
