ⓘ About Richard Llewellyn

Richard Llewellyn is a bestselling British novelist that is best known for writing some very popular historical fiction works. The author was born in 1906 in Hendon, North London to Welsh parents. However, he always claimed to have been born in St. Davids in Wales, which he went on to describe so well in his blockbuster novel “How Green Was My Valley.” According to the author, his education was very chaotic and was done piecemeal in London, Cardiff, and St. Davids. While he was still in his teenage years, he decided to join the British military where he would serve for five years. During this time, he got interested in traveling the world, which would ultimately become his avocation.
