"'A most entertaining and inspiring handbook for anyone who would really prefer to be Welsh - and who wouldn't?' (Jan Morris) 'A lyrical book: funny, hugely enjoyable, often deeply moving.

Format:Paperback
An incredibly moving, witty, humorous and downright inspiring book! This book will sweep you away and take you on a journey with the writer, the brilliant Jasper Rees, throughout the glorious countryside of Wales as it embarks on a mission of personal discovery where so many aspects of Welsh culture are explored and described with wit and charm. The book has a wonderful blend of Welsh history interwoven with current events where we are introduced to a multiplicity of wonderful Welsh characters from sporting heroes to politicians. The book explores so many areas of Welsh culture from poetry to the wonderful and beautiful old Welsh language. This is one man's search for his own national identity which has made me laugh and it has made me cry. It is a masterpiece that has touched my life and has taught me so much. I can without question, recommend this book to anyone.

A mixed bag of emotions 26 April 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
An enjoyable read which takes you through a wide range of emotions and reactions, including laughter and poignancy. The only part that is perhaps a little overindulged, is the walk along Offa's Dyke, which was rather monotonous, but the rest is very good.

Format:Paperback
Made me feel quite nostalgic for the Land of my Fathers. Having left Wales almost 50 years ago it evoked many long forgotten memories.
