The the thought of hearing another author badly intone their own writings over the radio waves dismayed me.  However,Ffion Hague's reading of her own book, The Welsh Wizard, her work on the life and loves of Lloyd George, was  refreshing,sparkling and meaningful.  It was read with a mastery of the vocal art.  This lady, read with lyrical, emotional and dramatic ability.

No doubt, Ffion Hague's Welshness has a lot to do with her apt speech patterns and her expert use of cadence. It was all so right, so pleasing to hear and generally, delightful.  I would not be at all surprised to learn that she, at some time in her life, participated in choirs and that great annual event of the Welsh arts, The Eisteddfod.
