But certainly the most important of all was Village Press to which all Powysians are in debt for the tremendous work J. Kwintner accomplished, enabling us to purchase most of J.C. Powys's books at reasonable prices. Today I am glad to say the situation has improved. Since the extraordinary success of A Glastonbury Romance published in 1997 by Overlook Press in the US, Penguin has followed suit with their own edition of the same novel this summer. They have also announced their intention of publishing Weymouth Sands in March 2000 and Wolf Solent with a new introduction by A.N. Wilson in May 2000. In France, almost all his work has been translated, the latest one being L'Art de Vieillir , published January '99.
Some titles are also available in German, Swedish, Italian.
