Hay
English
By (author): Jim Saunders
The border town of Hay-on-Wye is famous for two things: the annual Festival of Literature (now in its 31st year) and its stunning location.
Jim Saunders new book is a photographic record and words about Hay-on-Wye, its environs and people. The result is a record of the relationship in which a landscape of great natural beauty shapes a people, and a people shape a very special place.
