Geraint Goodwin (1903–1941) was born in Montomeryshire. His first books were Conversations with George Moore (1929), and the semi-autobiographical Call Back Yesterday (1935). He then turned to fiction and Welsh subjects, with The Heyday in the Blood (1936), The White Farm (1937), Watch for the Morning (1938), and Come Michaelmas (1939).

His stories of Wales and the Border are vivid and earthy. From 1922 to 1938 he lived by journalism and authorship in London. After his return to Wales he lived in Upper Corris and then in Montgomery, where he died 10 October 1941.
