Dew On The Grass, first published in 1934, was Eiluned Lewis’ first novel and immediately enjoyed both popular success and critical acclaim. A semi-autobiographical account of childhood in rural Montgomeryshire in the early years of the twentieth century, Lewis’ novel focuses on Lucy, nine years old, dreamy, accident -prone and acutely alive to the world around her. Lewis’ prose is a delight: sensuous, evocative and nostalgic. Here is a book which distils all the joys and agonies of childhood and seems to speak directly to us all of our own lost selves.
