Why Bryn Glas Books?

Bryn Glas translates from the Welsh as ‘Green Hill’ – glas is one of those magical words in Welsh which usually means blue, but poetically has a range of meanings from green to silver-grey. A farmer talking about a lush meadow might well describe it as glas.
When we built our home, and the base of Bryn Glas Books, we called it Bryn Glas for two reasons. First, across the valley rises the rounded summit of a very green hill. And secondly, my family comes from near Wrexham, where the hills are red from their iron ore. And one side of my ancestral family lived for several generations in a house called Bryn Coch, Red Hill. We enjoyed the symmetry.
And so our logo shows the green hill above what could be folded fields, or perhaps an opened book. Thank you, Alex Nicholas Designs!
