The Fire People

Blurb

The Fire People is a historical novel by Alexander Cordell, first published in 1972. It forms part of the 'Second Welsh Trilogy' of Cordell's writings. It tells of events leading up to the 1831 Merthyr Rising in Merthyr Tydfil and surrounding areas in South Wales.
Cordell's style and subject matter have been described as being reminiscent of Richard Llewellyn's How Green Was My Valley, but also owe something to the style of Dylan Thomas.
