Village lives and international adventures

Crillith Wells is a Welsh village with an unusually wide orbit: the story ranges from its rundown castle and local pub to Salisbury Plain, Oxford, the Vatican and the fictional country of New Belgravia. Its cast includes the Alwick brothers, who rise to prominence despite their lack of education, alongside a cash-strapped lord, a civil servant, an American general, an artist, a priest and Europol-connected characters. The description points to a comic ensemble of local and international figures, with village life set against a succession of broader adventures.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers who enjoy ensemble casts and intersecting character stories.

Book overview

Tales from Crillith Wells is a romp through the lives of the inhabitants of a village in deepest Wales and the country of New Belgravia, nestled between Macedonia and Albania.

We are introduced to Al and Steve Alwick, who despite lacking education become major players on the world stage, Lord Jeremiah, the impoverished and tight-fisted owner of the rundown Crillith Wells Castle, and Owen, the landlord of the Dropping Daffodil, the village Pub. Splitting time between Crillith Wells, Salisbury Plain, Oxford, New Belgravia and the Vatican, we follow their adventures. Joining them in the fun are a long suffering Civil Servant, an irascible American General, a Welsh artist and her husband, a reluctant priest, a beautiful art expert and her Europol boyfriend. Not since P.G Wodehouse have we had such a jolly read.
