书籍简介

神秘和谋杀在不祥的山峰和冰冷的湖泊中肆虐。 在寂静的山谷中，毒液流经村庄，这些村庄怀有代代相传的不满。 威尔士（威尔士语“Cymru”）的风景和地点激发了犯罪和悬疑小说领域一些伟大作家的想象力。

这本新选集呈现了从 1909 年到 80 年代的 14 个故事，颂扬了一系列深受喜爱的威尔士作家，如卡迪夫的罗尔德·达尔和阿伯加文尼的埃塞尔·丽娜·怀特，以及不太知名但技艺高超的作家，如克莱德温·休斯和杰克 格里菲斯. 除了这些本土故事之外，该系列还收录了一些受威尔士城市和荒野启发或以威尔士城市和荒野为背景的瑰宝，作者包括克里斯蒂安娜·布兰德、伊安特·杰罗德 (Ianthe Jerrold) 和迈克尔·吉尔伯特 (Michael Gilbert)，这些作家对这个国家有着浓厚的兴趣。

Mystery and murder runs amok amidst ominous peaks and icy lakes. In hushed valleys, venom flows through villages harbouring grievances which span generations. The landscapes and locales of Wales (“Cymru”, in the Welsh language) have fired the imagination of some of the greatest writers in the field of crime and mystery fiction.

Presenting fourteen stories from ranging from the 1909 through to the 1980s, this new anthology celebrates a selection of beloved Welsh authors such as Cardiff’s Roald Dahl and Abergavenny’s Ethel Lina White, as well as lesser-known yet highly skilled writers such as Cledwyn Hughes and Jack Griffith. Alongside these home-grown tales, this collection also includes a handful of gems inspired by, or set in, the cities and wilds of Wales by treasured authors with an affinity for the country, such as Christianna Brand, Ianthe Jerrold and Michael Gilbert.
