This edition of A Toy Epic would have been impossible without the great encouragement and the material support so generously provided by Emyr and Elinor Humphreys. I am very much grateful to them for all their help. Mr Graham Greene very readily allowed me to publish his letters and the Lord David Cecil letter is printed with the kind permission of his family. My uncle, Brinley Rees, has been my literary conscience in this as in so many other projects, and I would like to pay particular tribute to his scrupulous patience. Mae fy niolch, a fy nyled, i yn fawr iddynt i gyd.
