Hello to everyone out there who has knowledge of the Welsh language, from Patagonia to Australia, Spain to the USA, and don't foget my beautiful Wales as well. Here is a small collection of stories specially delivered to this page by Diddilydeedot's Dreamland. XXX
rhodd - Owen Edwards.
Owen Morgan Edwards
(26 December 1858 – 15 May 1920)
was a Welsh historian, educationalist and writer.
He was often known as O. M. Edwards. Owen Edwards was born in Llanuwchllyn near Bala, the eldest son of Owen and Beti Edwards. Just down the road I live as the deryn ddu flies
He gives a vivid description of his early education in his autobiography Clych Adgof ("Bells of Remembrance") published in 1906. Llanuwchllyn was then and remains a strongly Welsh-speaking area, but the Welsh Not was in use at the local school and usually found itself round Owen's neck,as a punishment for speaking Welsh. He went on to change all this as his career developed. The first story "DEL" will explain some of this .
