THE GREGYNOG PRESS was the brainchild of two sisters, Gwendoline and Margaret Davies. It was established in 1922 at their house, Gregynog Hall, in rural mid-Wales. During the next eighteen years the Press gained a reputation for producing limited edition books of the highest order and ranked alongside the leading Private Presses of the day. Between 1922 and 1940, there were four controllers of the Press, Robert Ashwin Maynard, William MacCance, Lord Haberly and James Wardrop, each of whom left his own mark on the works he issued. Among the illustrators were Blair Hughes-Stanton, David Jones, H.W. Bray and Agnes Miller-Parker. Forty two books were published at the Press. Lope de Vega (also Félix Lope de Vega y Carpio or Lope Félix de Vega Carpio) was a Spanish Baroque playwright and poet. His reputation in the world of Spanish letters is second only to that of Cervantes, while the sheer volume of his literary output is unequalled: he is estimated to have written up to 1,500 three-act plays of which some 425 have survived until the modern day together with a plethora of shorter dramatic and poetic works.
