Enoc Huws

Enoc Huws is a classic novel by Daniel Owen, written in the Welsh language and first published in 1891.

[1][2] It was serialised in Y Cymro prior to publication in book form.

The story is a social comedy and concerns the activities of the villainous Captain Trefor,[4] a con artist who convinces investors to speculate on lead mining schemes and pays himself a generous salary from the proceeds.

Sub-plots follow Enoc as he fights off the unwanted affection of his housekeeper, and a group of chapel elders wishing to appoint a new minister.

The novel is set in the same nameless town as Owen's earlier novel Rhys Lewis, and features a few of the same characters, though it is not in any real sense a sequel.
