This is the first volume of my autobiography covering the years 1950 to 1968, when I left Pontardawe Grammar School. The book opens with an extensive and rigorously authentic genealogy going back to the mid fourth century in one branch of the family, and genealogy of all the other branches. The book is interwoven with some of my poetry in both languages and is a unique account of Pontardawe Grammar School in the nineteen sixties. The prose is interwoven with poetry, which is the distilled wisdom of any People.
