Historians explain why everyone was so darn pale in those Victorian-era portraits

If you enjoyed this trip through six early short stories from #Wales, I've now bundled them up and made them available as an #OpenAccess collection in the shape of a PDF: "Wanderings in Wales" by Thomas Richards.

I'm also playing with the idea of providing an epub. Let me know whether you'd be interested in that.

It took a little longer than anticipated, but here is the final of six stories, 'The Snow Storm' by Thomas Richards (1800-1877). The story tells the adventurous escape of a cattle trader from the hands of a murderous band of robbers one stormy winter night.

This completes my little project of creating the first freely available, #DigitalEdition of this set of stories by Richards, a shamefully neglected early contributor to the #WelshWritingInEnglish school during the late #RomanticPeriod.
