In a sequence freely adapted from Dafydd's work, Matthew Francis brings him to life for the modern English-speaking reader: as he waits in the woods for his lover, ogles the girls in church or causes chaos during a midnight assignation. Plants, birds and animals are fondly invoked while weather and the elements - wind, waves, fog and ice - play their part. Passionate in his treatment of sexual themes, Dafydd is equally ready to make fun of his own susceptibility. \u003ci\u003eThe Green Month\u003c\/i\u003e introduces an original and lovable poet who speaks freshly to us from deep in the past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Matthew Francis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 057139454X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780571394548\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Faber \u0026amp; Faber\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/10\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 56\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Matthew Francis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47427737682175,"sku":"9780571394548","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c195a874-07e4-4915-abfa-78d1e45b97b2.jpg?v=1761581266","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-green-month-matthew-francis-9780571394548","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
