Publisher's Synopsis

This beautifully illustrated book reveals how Giardelli's childhood in the country shaped his life. It examines his Italian background, his education at Oxford, and his sudden removal to Wales.

A friend of Cedric Morris, David Jones, Josef Herman and Ceri Richards, Arthur Giardelli was for many years Chairman of the influential 56 Group Wales, arranging exhibitions throughout Europe. His international circle included the painters Zoran Music, Ota Janecek, Olivier Debre and the American Fairfield Porter. Giardelli's work can be found in the Tate Gallery, the National Museum of Wales and public and private collections around the world.

Derek Shiel is a painter, sculptor and writer. Born and bought up in Dublin, he was educated at fettes College and the Edinburgh College of Art. A year's travelling scholarship took him to the USA before he moved to London.

Based in Bridgend and aiming primarily to give voice to outstanding writing in the English language from Wales, Seren continues to nurture and publish new talent whose quality is recognized around the world.At the heart of our list is a good story told well or an idea or history presented interestingly or provocatively, what used to be called literary publishing before accountants and managers gained ascendancy. We?re international in authorship and readership though our roots remain here in Wales (seren = star in Welsh) where we prove that writers from a small country with an intricate culture have a worldwide relevance.
