David and Noelle Boulton
About David
I am a proud Welshman, educated in Newbridge and Newport, and I am interested in promoting the arts in Wales.
I paint, I write poetry, and I like photography.
One of my paintings is on the cover of ‘A Welsh Ghost Story’. I hope you like it.
The lonely beaches of Wales inspire me to create all of the plays and ghost stories that my wife then creates most of the lines for, but she insists that I mention that I do write about ten percent of the lines myself.
Perhaps ghost stories are a part of the very fabric of Wales, a part of the rich soil of Wales, for Wales is an ancient country, with an ancient culture.—Ghost stories seem to whisper to me from every valley, from every thicket, from every meadow; So, yes, Wales is my inspiration.
I would like to dedicate this Celtic Ghost Story to Wales, and also to that man who spent his best years in a very dark coal mine, Dai Boulton, my father.—As a young man, he worked in the darkness so that his children could grow to be whatever they wanted to be. Thanks, dad.
About Noelle
I am a homemaker. I am David’s wife. I love to knit, to work on embroidery, to bake, to write poetry in 16th century English, to read Keats and Shakespeare.
I have a diploma in counselling, and we have a cat named Zeus. He was an abused cat that an animal charity found. Please try to adopt abused animals. They make such fine pets.

My husband and I are trying to help revive the art of creating Celtic ghost stories.
My husband and I create together. We have created fourteen plays, nine of which have been written in 16th century English or blends of 16th century English and modern English, on such topics as the life of Shakespeare, the life of Thomas Chatterton, the life of Lady Jane Grey, King Arthur of Camelot, the field of the golden cloth, a fictional play about Saxon princes, and our own fairy chronicles of the fifth century of Wales, plus four comedies, which cover topics such as an English ghost who is exasperated with his three quite alive ex-wives, a Londoner who despises ageing in a bizarrely youth oriented era, a family that seems bent on having a horrid holiday together, and five friends who manage to laugh their way through five decades, through the guru era of the sixties, through the disco craze, through life, only to retire still determined to live life to the fullest, and also a comedy set in the 18th century of England.
Together, as man and wife, we are writing a book of poetry. All of the poems are written in 16th century English, and all the poems are poems for children: David creates poems in modern English and I translate them into 16th century English, and I write my own poems, for the book, in 16th century English—and David is also writing a book of his own modern English poetry. Of course, it will be mainly about Welsh landscapes, for Wales is his beating heart.
It was David’s dream, to help revive the art of creating and telling Celtic ghost stories, and so we hope that you will read our ghost stories, all of which are set in past centuries, complete with mists, black gates, moaning winds and old-fashioned spookiness! Please read on stormy nights, with a tartan blanket wrapped around you, and, of course, with a warm fire blazing and the doors locked so that ghoulies won’t get in! |

This is a newly created Celtic ghost story that should be read
whilst sitting beneath a tartan blanket, preferably on a dark and
stormy night, while a fire blazes, and a horseshoe hangs over
the door—to keep out the ghoulies.
The year is 1846. Heathwood House rests in the valley region
near to the Welsh town of Cardiff. An ominous housekeeper,
Mrs. Taurntan, a truly terrifying gardener, Mr.Edwards, the
woman in the crimson walking-cloak, Miss. Williams, a vain
and fickle neighbour, Lady Filchmore, and the master of
Heathwood House, who is dying of consumption, Terrance
Heathwood………all await the arrival of the woman who has
lost her father to the disease that the potato famine in Ireland
has caused. – She is to be the master’s bride.
Are the inhabitants of Heathwood House becoming trapped
within its very walls? Are the living being driven mad by forces
that permeate the very air of Heathwood House? Have the
sorrows of Terrance Heathwood’s ancestors ….started to come
back to life within the walls of Heathwood House? Will the
living survive within the walls of Heathwood House?
Put on your slippers, make some tea, and enjoy this
old-fashioned, gothic-style, Celtic ghost-story……if you
like……..if you dare. Aye, and don’t forget to have a tin of
biscuits handy; that’s optional, of course, but it’s always
comforting to have a tin of biscuits close by!

The Plays Britannica

UKBookland Price : £10.75 including FREE Standard UK Delivery - available here.
Mobipocket eBook available here for 6 Euros.
Mobipocket eBook ISBN: 978-1-84944-025-7
These plays have been written in 16th Century English.
We do hope that you enjoy them.
A blend of fiction and non-fiction:
Chatterton:
The Play is based on the life and death of Thomas Chatterton. His worth as a poet was only recognised to any profound degree .... after his early death. May that dear poet be at peace.
The Tragedies (a comedy):
This play is based on the life of William Shakespeare, Britain's greatest writer. It is a tale of what may have been and of what was. It is a blend of fiction and non-fiction.
Nine Days of the Nightingale:
This play is based on the life of Lady Jane Grey. It is a tale of what may have happened, of the despair, of the love, of the sorrow - that may have marked the lives of so many who danced upon the chessboard of that time.
The Fields of the Golden Cloth:
This play is based on the event of King Henry VIII meeting the French King. It is a tale of what might have been, what may have been, during that brief time of the field of the cloth of gold -- when two rival Kings strove to outdo each other.
