Edward Tegla Davies
Edward Tegla Davies was a Wesleyan Methodist minister and a popular Welsh language writer, born at Llandegla-yn-Iâl, Denbighshire, north Wales.
His works include a number of children's books which display his rich imagination and sometimes surreal humour, the novel Gŵr Pen y Bryn, short stories and a series of essays. Among the latter is the collection Gyda'r Hwyr, including Y Bedd Hwnnw recording a visit to the grave of the Blessed John Henry Newman at Rubery near Birmingham, and Y Wraig o'r Wyddgrug, in which he meets, in Manchester, someone who knew the Welsh novelist, Daniel Owen, in her youth.
A Cabinet Office release in 2012 shows that he declined an OBE in the New Year Honours in 1963.
