The Transformative Power of Books

If you’re looking for comfort, curling up with a book may be an enticing idea. But occasionally, reading can also feel a dangerous thing to do – for, through the pages of a book, you might change the way you view the world. Anyone who’s had the pleasure of immersing themselves in a really good book knows the power of fine writing or well-crafted story-telling to draw them in. You may emerge inspired or disturbed. You may experience an epiphany moment and see more clearly where you glimpsed only dimly before. It’s this transformative power that Bryn Glas Books seeks to uphold, along with the simple pleasure of fine writing.

This is why we claim our books are on the edge and seeking to go beyond. In his Isle Fincara Trilogy, A G Rivett explores ideas that are ancient, but which challenge majority opinion in the mainstream world. In Vu, Kenneth Sinclair seeks to break ground with a new form. Yet, although we seek new vision, we aspire to timeless values. At a time when our world faces unprecedented challenges, this awareness and this aspiration underlie all the books we publish through our Pantolwen Press imprint.
