Margiad Evans

ME began writing both diaries and poetry in her youth. She began publishing in the 1930s with stories, then novels. Her first novel was historical and all are regional, set in the Border country between England and Wales. After four novels she turned to a form of autobiography (drawn from her journals, with religious questioning and intense natural description). The second of her two volumes of memoir confronts her epileptic seizures. Though her output was small and her career cut short, her unusual body of work is once more attracting attention, partly on account of its connection with Wales.
