WALES FORGOTTEN PAST (HB)

Wales is famed for its dragons and castles, bards and songs, but through its valleys runs a deeper, much richer past. Come face to face with modern giantesses, fire-wielding druids, vengeful medieval monsters and maniacal inventors as we meet some of the country’s most misremembered and misunderstood characters. We’ll read of ancient battles with unlikely kinships, curious cults, the world’s first-ever railway journey and Ceredigion’s secret cure for cancer, all magnified by Joe McLaren’s striking illustrations.
