Written by an expat Welshman who has lived in England and now returned to the homeland, this little book is wonderful. The observations of the peculiarities and foibles of the Welsh are highly accurate and I could see myself in almost every paragraph, if not myself then certainly a not too distant relative or friend! My wife is English and she feels the accuracy of the book is second to none and would probably never have married me had she read it 20 years ago. I have sent copies to friends all over the world. Enjoy the whole book in an evening then take it down the pub the next night where you can share the humour!

Richards has an incisive wit and a dry almost ascerbic style that produces a beautifully written, and genuinely funny guide to my own homeland, Wales. Culturally, it is possible when you come from a small nation, to take yourself too seriously. Richards, also a Welshman, avoids this with honest, self-deprecating wit. He does for Wales what Omid Jalili does for Iran and the 'Goodness gracious me' team do for India. A great read or a nice gift for the welshman (or someone who is not so blessed) in your life.

Great people, the Welsh... I know, I am married to one!
13 Feb 2012
Format:Paperback
Being married to a Welsh man this little book was great to help me understand him better! Yes, I am not joking.... nowadays, if I am irritated about something I just think back to the contents of this book and I often have to laugh because I understand that he is who he is because he is.... Welsh! I couldn't stop laughing when I read this book but now he wants to take revenge and wants to get the one for the Portuguese, which back then wasn't out yet and I hope it never will! Humor aside it really tells you a lot about the people of a country, lots of truths but all with lots of humor! Worth reading or great to give as a present (he got it at a Christmas party at his office!).
