    About this ebook

    Flame and Slag is Ron Berry's masterpiece. Set against the unspeakable horror of Aberfan, this remarkable 1968 novel follows the lives of lovers, Rees Stevens and Ellen Vaughan. Rees must discover and interpret a journal written by Ellen's father if all the fires of living on are not to fall into cold ash.

    Ron Berry

    Ron Berry was born in 1920 in Blaen-cwm in the Rhondda Valley,and he worked as a miner from the age of fourteen. Although he served in both the Army and the Merchant Navy in the Second World War, his consistent attitude to all authority was to absent himself from it. He was a gifted sportsman who had played for Swansea Town, and was an occasional boxer, but it was a year in adult education at Coleg Harlech in the early 1950s that released him from sporadic casual work to concentrate on writing. Against all odds he never flagged in this determined pursuit. In addition to So Long, Hector Bebb, he published four works of fiction, including Travelling Loaded (1963); The Full-Time Amateur (1966); Flame and Slag (1968), and This Bygone (1996).

      MAY we play a word-association game? I say ‘Lincolnshire’ and you reply... Yes, you might struggle to find anything to say about the ancient shire of that name. Perhaps ‘cathedral’ and ‘cabbages’ will float up through the mist of memory. I doubt many
