Thomas Rowland Hughes (1903-1949) is a major Welsh novelist and poet, whose novels dealing with life in the slate communities in the first decades of the 20th century are literary classics. The son of a quarryman, he was a graduate of both Bangor and Oxford universities. He worked as a producer with BBC Wales until he developed a progressively debilitating disease, and died a young man.
