You could argue that this is an ‘antiquarian’ Bookshop or is it a shop selling ‘Antiquarian’ books. I hope, and expect, it is still in business but it is a couple of years since I last visited. Certainly a shop of character and well worth a browse. It is located in Laugharne ( roughly pronounced Larn), Carmarthenshire, South Wales.
I suspect we will hear a good deal more of Laugharne over the later part of this year….let me give you a clue. The town is situated on the River Taf and inspired one of Wales most famous sons, poet and writers and it is claimed that he drew much inspiration for his writings from the town and its characters. In particular his work “Under Milk Wood” was based upon Laugharne. If you have not guessed it is Dylan Thomas and Wales will be commemorating his birth 100 years ago this October. More on Dylan Thomas nearer the time.
