Owen Glendower is John Cowper Powys' brilliant re-imagining of the life and exploits of Wales's national hero. It is the year 1400, and Wales is on the brink of a bloody revolt. At a market fair on the banks of the River Dee a mad rebel priest and his beautiful companion are condemned to be burned at the stake.
