 Encyclopedia: Caradog Prichard
Caradog Prichard (1904-1980) was a Welsh poet and novelist.
The answer to this and other matters of interest to the inhabitants of a tiny Welsh village some 80 years ago can be found in ''One Moonlit Night,'' a lyrical novel by Caradog Prichard (1904-80), a writer celebrated on his native turf but virtually unknown on this side of the ocean.
Prichard's dramatis personae include, among others, a schoolmaster with a terrible temper, a choir of visiting miners from South Wales, a child-abusing transvestite, the village exhibitionist and assorted merchants and schoolchildren.

By this criterion, Caradog Prichard's story of a boy's life in North Wales is as authentic a novel as one can hope for.
And Prichard's voice is completely his own: by turns tender and fearless; surfeited and hungry; compassionate and hopelessly overwhelmed.
Slowly, we begin to realize that for Prichard this is a cathartic novel, one whose impact creeps up on us amid a lulling atmosphere of innocence and beguiling tranquillity.

 One Moonlit Night (New Directions Classic) (Caradog Prichard , Philip Mitchell)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Since the novel draws heavily on Caradog Prichard's own life the events themselves feel alive, especially the scene where the child's mother is sent to an assylum.
Other themes discussed are the loss of innocence of youth, the pressures of poverty on a rural community, suicide, religion and the empty hypocrisy of organised religion, the destructive power of sexual desire, the relationship between men and women, the Oedipus complex and guilt.
Caradog Prichaard used a great deal from his own life in writing this novel therefore the characters are rounded and interesting and there is a real sense of gritty realism to the events.

 The Village People
The question in everyone's mind is whether Hughes the Curate and Hughes the Parson will administer Communion to this unrepentant unwed mother, who refuses to identify her baby's father.
The principal themes of ''One Moonlit Night'' are madness and loss; it is clear that Prichard had either an especially unhappy childhood or an unusually powerful imagination for disaster.
Whether grim or playful, Prichard's vision in ''One Moonlit Night'' is communicated in language that provides intense esthetic pleasure.

"Prichard was the first English psychiatrist who separated from the omnibus 'insanity' a 'new' group of mental disorders which he called 'moral insanity' and so added a new term to psychiatric nosography." - Hunter and MacAlpine.
Prichard is famous for his ethical intuitionism: he argued that moral obligation cannot be reduced to anything else, but is perceived by direct intuition.

In a small Welsh village during the dark days of World War I, a nameless narrator chronicles a year of loss, grief, and madness in Caradog Prichard's One Moonlit Night.
Originally published in 1961, this Welsh-language novel has been eloquently translated into English by Philip Mitchell, perhaps garnering Prichard the wide recognition his novels have long enjoyed in his native land.
Dark as it is at times, Prichard's tragic tale is leavened by humor and illuminated by prose that is lyrical and deeply stirring.

 GO BRITANNIA! Wales: Welsh Literature - 20th Century, Pt I
Caradog Prichard (1904-80) and T. Rowland Hughes (1903-49) were the two other novelists writing in Welsh who deserve notice, and who also came from Caernarfonshire: Prichard was a three-times winner of the Crown at the National Eisteddfod.
Prichard's most famous novel in "Un Nos Ola Leuad" (One Last Moonlit Night) was published in 1961.
His finest novel is "Chwalfa" (Dispersal), about the longest strike in the history of British industrial relations that took place at the beginning of the century at the Penrhyn quarries and its bitterness left permanent emotional scars upon the people of the district.

'Caradog Prichard is one of the great lost voices of Welsh literature...for its portrayal of a vanished way of life, and for its evocation of the tearless sadness of insanity, this strange, melancholy book deserves to be widely read.'

While at Radio Oxford he married Mari Prichard, daughter of the Welsh poet Caradog Prichard.
His first book, A Thames Companion (1975), written with Mari Prichard, was a guide to the river, which the pair had navigated from sea to source in a small boat, camping out.
He had a lifelong feeling for childhood and its imagination: with Prichard he produced The Oxford Companion to Children’s Literature (1984), and his study of 19th-century children’s books, Secret Gardens (1985), is a modern classic.

Although Will and the Grey King are the major protagonists, the struggle between good and evil is extended through local folklore and is reflected in the long-standing antagonism between Bran's stepfather, Owen Davies, and the half-crazed Caradog Pritchard.
It is only with the disclosure of Bran's true identity that Will fully grasps the significance of that antagonism.
Secondly, and perhaps the most moving moment of any of the books, is the scene presented of Bran's grief following Caradog Prichard's dreadful act (I can't tell you any more in case you've not read the book!
