Hanes
Hugh Evans (1854-1934) was brought up in Ty'n Rhos, Llangwm, Denbighshire. He worked on various farms as a waggoner before he moved to Liverpool. In 1897, he established the printing press, Gwasg y Brython, the publishing and printing business of Hugh Evans & Sons, Ltd, Liverpool. In 1906, with his sons and Arthur Foulkes, he founded the newspaper, Y Brython and Y Beirniad in 1911, which he printed until 1918. He wrote a number of books of his own, his most famous work probably being Cwm Eithin, which was first published in 1931 and describes rural life in Wales and Welsh customs in the nineteenth century. Cwm Eithin was translated into English under the title The Gorse Glen in 1948. In 1935, Y Tylwyth Teg a volume of stories for children was published posthumously.
