The writer, D. J. Williams (1885-1970), was born in Rhydcymerau, Carmarthenshire.  He was one of the founding members of Plaid Genedlaethol Cymru (the Welsh Nationalist Party, est. 1925) and along with Saunders Lewis and Lewis Valentine, took part in the symbolic act of setting fire to the bombing school at Penyberth, on the Llyn Peninsula, in 1936.
