Description

Ffigwr eiconaidd yw Waldo Williams yng Nghymru; yn wir, yn ôl un a fu’n gyfaill agos iddo, Bobi Jones: ‘Cymeriad mytholegol yw ef bellach’. Mae’r cofiant hwn – y cofiant cyntaf erioed i Waldo Williams – yn chwilio am y dyn y tu ôl i’r fytholeg. Ond nid am y dyn yn unig y chwilir, ond am y bardd, yr heddychwr a’r ymgyrchwr, y brawdgarwr a’r brogarwr, y cenedlaetholwr a’r doniolwr.
