He wrote a book on folk tales about fairies in 1935. He wrote a series of stories and other books for children as well, including Hogyn y Bwthyn Bach To Gwellt. However, he is chiefly remembered for his classic Cwm Eithin (Gorse Glen) (1931), which portrays the memorable customs and society of rural Wales, largely based on his knowledge of his native area.
