A Fox in the Yard is a remarkable sequence of poems centred around an enduring and hard-earned sense of place, combined with a deep respect of the natural world, its mysteries and our perception of them.

One bizarre result was that half the population consisted of teenagers. Death was everywhere. Or that 'infantry' stems from a Latin word meaning one who could not speak? Peter J. Jones was born in Llanelli in 1945 and has worked in the public sector and overseas in the mining and oil industry. In this original and highly entertaining book, Peter Jones reveals the roots of Latin words that are now common in the English language and shows how Romans actually used them in the ancient world. Since 1984, he has lived in the Llansteffan area where in the last few years he has resumed painting again. Call us on: +442033020460
