Details
A moving and remarkable account of war and comradeship.
George Brinley Evans was born in Dyffryn Cellwen in 1925. Aged 14, he began working in the Banwen Colliery in 1939 and then served in Burma with the 12th Army during the Second World War. When he volunteered for the British Army in 1944 he was eighteen years old.
Where The Flying Fishes Play is a record of that time in a young man’s life when the world holds endless possibilities. It is a moving story of comradeship with his fellow soldiers, and an account of his own widening of horizons through travel across oceans and continents filled with danger, and the romance of a war that would change his life.
The real gamble for any writer of our bright new millennium is to write with sentiment and feeling, this I was refreshed and encouraged to encounter a writer who is prepared to take that risk. — Planet
