Sir John Rhys war ein herausragender walisischer Gelehrter und eine führende Autorität auf dem Gebiet der keltischen Sprachen. Sein Ruf wurde durch einflussreiche Vorträge gefestigt, die später als Lectures on Welsh Philology veröffentlicht wurden und zu seiner Ernennung zum ersten Professor für Keltologie an der Universität Oxford führten. Rhys' engagierte wissenschaftliche Arbeit trug maßgeblich zum Verständnis und zur Erforschung der keltischen Philologie bei.






This new edition of England is My Village, and The World Owes Me A Living by John Llewelyn Rhys (1911-1940) is a stunning rediscovery of this brilliant writer. 'Had he lived,' an obituary noted, 'he might have become the Kipling of the RAF.'
Robert Owen is the only son from a Welsh vicarage, now a brilliant pilot and flying instructor, recently of the Royal Air Force. He has taken a new job at the flying school at Best, a prosperous cathedral town in England. Robert's skills as a pilot and in diplomacy with pupils with delusions about their competence are tested to their limits.
