The Strange Story of Old Willy Jones’ Near-death Experience

If you are looking for a book that takes you on an otherworldly journey, then A Night in Annwn by Welsh author Owen Jones might just be what you need. This modern fairy tale is part of the Annwn- Heaven series. It tells the story of the Jones family in Brecon. The mother of the family, Sarah, has already travelled to the Welsh Otherworld of Annwn. In other words, she has passed away.

Annwn-Heaven

Annwn is often associated with Heaven in Welsh mythology, and so it is in this book. Jones has created a mystical and enchanting world that is both imaginative and spellbinding. The story begins in earnest when William, Sarah’s husband suffers a Near-death Experience, and thinks that his nurse looks a lot like his dearly departed wife.

As William realises that he is in Annwn, he begins to encounter a host of otherworldly experiences and landscapes. These are sure to capture the reader’s imagination. From variable scenery to fantastical methods of transport, William’s journey is both wonderous and awesome.

Otherworldly Journey

However, things are not always as they seem in Annwn. William soon discovers that he should take nothing at face value, although Sarah assures him that nothing can harm him in Annwn. Along the way, he faces many challenges and strange experiences. Ultimately, it is his bravery and trust in his wife that save the day.

What makes A Night in Annwn so captivating is Jones’ skill in creating a world that feels both familiar and otherworldly at the same time. The book overflows with vivid descriptions of Annwn and its inhabitants. These make it easy for the reader to imagine themselves in William’s shoes.

At its heart, A Night in Annwn is a tale of courage and self-discovery. William’s otherworldly journey to Annwn forces him to confront his deepest fears and desires. Nevertheless, it is through this journey that he comes to understand his own true self and power.

Mystical and Enchanting

Overall, A Night in Annwn is a book that will appeal to anyone who loves mystical and enchanting stories. Jones’ writing is engaging and immersive, and the book is sure to leave readers feeling spellbound. Whether you are a fan of the paranormal or simply looking for a captivating read, A Night in Annwn is a book that is not to be missed.

The same is equally true of the dreamlike sequel Life in Annwn. In it, William finally takes the same otherworldly journey again to join Sarah full-time.

Chalita took over from Owen Jones as the owner of this blog, because Mr. Jones wanted to devote more time to writing, while Chalita wanted to get into blogging and help readers and writers to follow their passion for books.
Chalita is new to blogging and reviewing books, but she is learning quickly and is eager to help.
'If I cannot help directly, I know that I can always call on Owen', she says. 'Owen has vast experience in reading and writing books, and has more than a thousand books registered in his name at the British Library'.
The dog, Angun, which means Grape or Grapes in Thai, was an eighteenth birthday present from a friend. She was a lovely dog in every way imaginable, but was killed shortly after giving birth to and raising her first brood of puppies. She is sadly missed, and hasn't been replaced.
'A new dog just wouldn't be the same', she said sadly.
Anyway, times have changed, and Chalita now has a demanding job in Bangkok.
'I will be devoting as much time as I can to running the blog though', she said earnestly. 'And, if I see that people like my style of blogging, then I will rearrange my life a little in order to devote more time to it. I love reading and interacting with people anyway, so that wouldn't be a hardship. I suppose that I have to wait for the older visitors to get used to my style, and to try to attract new people who will come here for me.
'If you have any ideas about what you would like to see on this blog, please drop me a line' :-)
In the meantime, the format of Megan Publishing Services will remain roughly what it is now - a resource for readers and writers and a showcase for the books of Welsh writer Owen Jones.
Owen Jones has written fifty-odd novels in various genres mostly set in Wales, Spain and Thailand (the three countries where he spends most of his time). Similarly, many of his books have an element of the supernatural or paranormal, but not all of them, since he has a 700,000-word fictional biography, a spy thriller and military drama. Mr. Jones is strong on series. He only has a couple of stand-alone novels.
