A very special paper-back volume combining the autobiography of an artist with a large number of his most iconic paintings. By appreciating both the words and pictures we come to understand how Aneurin Jones became one of the main portrayers of the Welsh rural community. From his childhood in the Usk Valley, his years at Swansea Art College and then his time in Pembrokeshire and Ceredigion where he found again the close community and orginal characters that he knew in his youth. Full of humorous stories and memorable portraits of people and animals, this book is a treasure which records the romance and essence of a way of life which is fast disappearing, whilst also celebrating the work of one of Wales' best artists.
