This volume is dedicated to his memory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom that distant period, we move on to the \u003cem\u003eWeepers of the Middle Ages, the \u003c\/em\u003ePalace of Versailles\u003cem\u003e, the \u003c\/em\u003eEast German Uprising of 1953\u003cem\u003e, the \u003c\/em\u003eNympho in the blue Cadillac and after all that, to his beloved Wales with \u003cem\u003eIncident in Cardiff Park\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Day of the Quail\u003c\/em\u003e, on to the rushing waters of the mighty river Rhone, where almost inevitably lurk the Hounds of Annwn, Hell's Gate Guardians of Wales.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrama is served in the updated fragments of a play \u003cem\u003eTom Thumb\u003c\/em\u003e by the great Henry Fielding. This is a rude burlesque on a corrupt monarchy and its venal PM and MP's. It provoked the official censorship of the scripts for the theatre in 1738, and shamefully, this ban lasted until 1968.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author's 'juvenilia' consist of poems composed in his youth - a short chronicle of Welsh \u003cem\u003eRemembrance of Things Past\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDedwydd Jones's little excursions abound with odd characters - the loony baker, the innumerate civil servant, the fickle Vlasta, A Bucket of Warm Water for a Scrubber, a disgraceful Prime Minister and a retired hermit!
