In 'Memories of Youth', Glyn and Steve bring to life recollections
of their adolescence in the Upper Usk Valley parish of Crai, with
its patchwork of green fields, impounded headwaters and many acres
darkly afforested. Although reflecting much of their experiences
and impressions during the Second World War and immediate post war
years - a time when the horse still reigned supreme and electricity
rare in rural Breconshire - Glyn and Steve also draw back the
curtains on earlier heritage dating back to Roman, Celtic and
Norman times. Readers will be introduced, sometimes in English,
sometimes in Welsh, to historical figures, local luminaries, and
intriguing locations and possibilities, as well as notable events,
friendly rivalries and cultural activities that brought local
people together, shaping the values and cultural ethos of the
authors and their neighbours in this distinctive rural community,
even as world events and technological progress changed the area
forever.
