Lloyd Jones is a contemporary novelist from Wales.
Born in 1951 in Gwytherin near Llanrwst he has formerly worked on a farm and as a newspaper editor [ [https://www.seren-books.com/authors/?author_id=1444 Authors ] ] He has so far published two novels, both through Welsh publishing house Seren. "Mr Vogel" (2004), winner of the McKitterick Prize, was based partly upon Jones' walking completely around Wales, a 1000 mile journey (he is the first Welsh person to do so). His second book, "Mr Cassini" (2006), was partially inspired by his journeying around Wales in seven different directions; it won the Wales Book of the Year award 2007. His third book, "My First Colouring Book", a collection of short stories and essays, will be published in October 2008. [ [https://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/6286080.stm] ]
