As has been previously revealed, the two volumes which comprise the Library of Wales Story anthology are to be released on March 26th, 2014. The volumes, which between them span 1200 pages and feature over eighty stories by a myriad of authors, make up the most comprehensive collection of Welsh fiction in English ever released.

We can now confirm that the launch event will take place at 6pm in the Abbey building in Swansea University, Singleton. The collection will be introduced by series editor Dai Smith, before several stories from both volumes will be read by their original authors, including Rachel Trezise, Stevie Davies and George Brinley Evans. Drinks and nibbles will be available at the reception, as will copies of the anthology, which retail at £14.99 each. However, as a special prepublication offer, we are offering a bundle of both volumes which will retail exclusively at the launch and on the Parthian Books website at £20.

You can read more about the Story anthology here (Vol. I) and here (Vol. II).

Go here and here to preorder the volumes individually. Alternatively, keep checking the Parthian website over the coming days for news about the slipcase bundle.
