In The Dragon and the Crescent poet and critic Grahame Davies explores the relationship between Wales and Islam through a compilation of writings by Welsh authors. Stretching back to the Crusades, through the eighteenth century and William Williams Pantycelyn's influential book on world religions, to the present-day, the book takes in a range of writing (and attitudes), including the publication of the controversial cartoons of Mohammed in the Welsh magazines Gair Rhydd and Y Llan.

A fascinating and at times unexpected view of Welsh, British and Islamic history. The authors featured include: Ann Griffiths, Eluned Morgan, T Gwynn Jones, Llywelyn ap Grffudd, Cynan, TE Lawrence, Lloyd George, Wiliam Owen Roberts, Islwyn Ffowc Elis, Iwan Llwyd, Gwenallt, Gwyn Williams and Angharad Tomos.Grahame Davies is a poet, novelist and literary critic in the Welsh language. In 2002 he won the Welsh Arts Council Book of the Year Award for his poetry collection Cadwyni Rhyddid.
