The Morgan family live at Abercorran House in Balham – they’re friendly, welcoming, slightly eccentric and Welsh. Arthur Froxfield becomes a frequent visitor and recounts the stories he heard there of swan maidens, the Castle of Leaves and the house of the days of the year

Edward Thomas was a journalist and literary critic. He turned from writing prose to poetry in 1914, encouraged by his close friend Robert Frost. Thomas enlisted in the army in 1915 and died on Easter Monday 1917 at the battle of Arras.

Matthew Hollis’s biography, Now All Roads Lead to France: The Last Years of Edward Thomas, was published to great acclaim in 2011 and was shortlisted for the Costa Book Award.

The Happy-Go-Lucky Morgans is available as a digital e-book in epub and mobi formats through the Cromen shop and as a paperback book on Amazon and Lulu – go to The Happy-Go-Lucky Morgans page for further information.
