Croeso/Welcome to ‘Mab Gwent’!...a ‘Son of Gwent’ ...a ‘Man of Gwent’. The kingdom of Gwent was home to the Silures, the Ancien Britons of south-east Wales, from whom I have taken my literary style Clive Williams ‘The Silurist’. In medieval times the legendary Bowmen of Gwent were most prized for being highly skilled in the use of the longbow; and I have chosen to adopt their likeness for my logo. Throughout the ages Gwent has produced some truly memorable sons and daughters; none moreso than Augusta Hall, best known as a patron of the Welsh arts who took for herself the bardic name ‘Gwenynen Gwent’ (‘the bee of Gwent’). Nature’s beauty abounds throughout the old kingdom of Gwent ...for where else will you find a more idyllic scene than that of the River Usk and Pen y Fal viewed from Abergavenny? The Celts excelled in literature, and in arts and crafts, in a field encompassing a range of styles and traditions; some themes specific to individual nations. Mab Gwent is my cherished storehouse of Celtic treasures for those with a discerning taste ...Celtic Books; Celtic Jewellery; Celtic Gifts. A bookshelf for my own Welsh literary works; a shop window for a specially selected range of Cornish and Irish jewellery; and Scottish Harris Tweed bags.
