Wild Wales: Its People, Language and Scenery

In this richly detailed travelogue the author wanders through the valleys, mountains and rugged coastlines that give Wales its enduring nickname, “the wild.” Along the way he introduces the Cymry, the people who speak a tongue older than English and cling fiercely to their traditions. The narrative weaves together folklore, place‑names and the striking geography that has shaped a nation of poets and rebels.

Guided by a series of vivid sketches and early photographs, the listener follows the author’s footsteps from the mist‑shrouded peaks of Snowdon to the ancient stones of Strata Florida. He recounts encounters with local storytellers, visits to market towns, and the lingering echoes of historic battles that still colour the landscape. As the journey unfolds, the book invites you to hear the voices of a land where every hill and river carries a story waiting to be discovered.
