"A first novel of consummate skill" - The Sunday Times
"A beautiful, understated first novel" - The New York Times

"Fine, resonant poems" - Jill Farringdon in Poetry Wales

Griffri

"This extraordinary novel takes historical fiction and runs with it as far as it can go. It is a beautifully written story that does not simply recreate the life of a Mediaeval Welsh Prince's court - it also injects a philosophical slant that questions the very nature of history and examines the limits of our knowledge of the world and ourselves" - Christopher Lean in The Historical Novel Society's Review
"A magnificent achievement" - Friends of the Welsh Books Council Newsletter
"His Middle Ages also manage to be universal. Writers are too often tempted to write about writing, and it rarely comes off. Meredith has found a way which does." - Robin Blake in The Independent on Sunday
"A book of uncommon interest and appeal" - Norman Shrapnel in The Guardian

Sidereal Time

"This lyrical novel is never dull because it is so well written, and Meredith is inspired when describing the pressures and difficulties of the teaching environment." - The Guardian
"An amazingly brave, funny and touching book" - Time Out

Translation of Melog by Mihangel Morgan

"A cracking read. ...this extraordinary book shames us into realising that the best writers in Britain don't necessarily work in English." - Dan Rhodes in The Observer

"the translation captures the zaniness of the original and reads well as a novel in English" - Planet

The Meaning of Flight

"The defining feature of Christopher Meredith's poetry is an exquisite, almost painful precision" - Sarah Crown in The Guardian
"...not a false note or a wobble. It is in the thematic content that the maturity of vision shows itself." - Nicholas Murray in Planet
