The story of Gwendoline and Margaret Davies, whose grandfather was a millionaire railway contractor and bridgebuilder, and who inherited half a million pounds each. Unique among their wealthy contemporaries, the two sisters devoted their large fortune to fostering the culture of their native Wales. In 1920 they bought Gregynog, with the intention of establishing a craft commune but in the event it became a centre devoted to music, printing and sculpture.

`A pleasing picture emerges of the two sisters. Independent by nature, their differing temperaments did not deter them in their common interests in fostering the best in life. Lady White has given us a muchneeded addition to our knowledge of the Ladies of Gregynog.' (Anglo Welsh Review)
