Boundary Fence by R. Dewi Williams

‘I still remember that thrill of excitement… on reading Boundary Fence for the first time.’

Kate Roberts

Two neighbouring farmers of opposite temperaments fall into lifelong enmity over the state of the fence that divides their land. Filled with a countryman’s eye for natural details, and a countryman’s tolerance of human foibles, R. Dewi Williams’ seminal short story, first published in Welsh in 1911, appears in the author’s translation of 1915.
