Book description
A fascinating collection of stories from Welsh history collected from
Phil Carradice's popular BBC Wales blog, gathered together for the
first time in a book.
Among the incredible stories are...
- The man from Clydach who invented a Death Ray
- The
Welsh aristocrat whose parrot once bit Herman Goering on the
nose
- The witch who cursed the launch of a warship at Pembroke
Dockyard
- The battle that was won by a herd of cows
These stories are part and parcel of Welsh heritage and make history interesting.
Snapshots of Welsh History - without the boring bits
covers a wide range of Welsh history topics. Written in Phil's unique
easy-to-read yet elegant style, these stories are funny, tragic, sad
and hilarious. Yet the one thing they all have in common is that they
make compelling reading.
Phil Carradice has been writing his popular history blog for BBC
Wales since March 2010.
