1. 2. 8. [001426] Evans, Phoebe A. Barddoniaeth gan Cleifon.. , An 160 pp poetry typescript in the Welsh language. Hardbound in blue buckram 18 x 20 cm. We believe the title translates as " The Idylls of Cleifon". We believe it is the poetry or the story of one Ganwyd Cleifon, born in St. Clears in 1858. The complete subtitle reads " Ganwyn Cleifon yn St. Clears 1858. Treuliodd y rhan fwyaf o'i oes yng Nghaerdydd fel swyddog ar y Rheilffordd. Bu farw Awst 1919 a chladdwyd ef ym mynwent Seion, St. Clears. Ysgrifennodd y darnau barddonol yma o dro i dro i gyfnodolion a phapurau wythnolsol Cymru, a chasglwyd hwynt gan ei ferch". We are uncertain if Phoebe A Evans is the author, editor, or translator of this work.
