- I am interviewed by children December 1, 2017One child, anyway. A little girl named Katy, in Massachussetts.

the most prolific composer of music and verse was also the most longlived. He or she went by the name “Unknown”, “Unk” to his/her friends…
if all of his family uses Llewellyn as their family name paired with a given name, how is it that our Llewellyn only has the one name?
What if his name is Llewellyn Llewellyn? It seems reasonable for him.
He’s missing Ped Xing in this “always,” unless his full name was Ped Xing Llewellyn.
And in context, it would be obvious that the poet would now be obscure.
And if Llewellyn’s father was in his prime in the Victorian Age, that again hints Llewellyn was born 1750-1800 timeframe.
Seriously how could she have missed it.
