Product Description

Synopsis
In this reissue of his popular travel text, H.V. Morton goes in search of Wales and finds equal delight in climbing Snowdon and going down a coal mine. Bustling with local stories and characters, this account reaches from the scenic north to the domestic beauty of the industrial south.

5.0 out of 5 stars H.V at his best, 12 Jun 2002
Whether meeting Lloyd George, being mistaken for a famous musician, addressing a chapel Sunday School on the subject of the Pope or dispairing at the lot of the pitboys, this is Morton at his best. Like all good Morton, a mix of history with social attitudes and seasoned with plenty of humour. Much of 'In Search of Wales' can still be used as a guidebook.
After this book was published, Morton was proclaimed bard at the national Eisteddfod. What better praise than this?

5.0 out of 5 stars What an insight!, 19 April 2002
By A Customer
Being of Welsh blood, but having only lived there briefly, I felt a tie to 'God's country' but without an understanding of why. This book, wittingly describes the real Welsh people and their culture. The author manages to give an historical overview of how Wales fought many armies until it forged an alliance with England. It includes the druids and lords, along with with the first tudor King, born in Wales. Reading the book has made me promise myself to go back and see this great country again with new, knowledgable eyes and respect. I cannot wait to see the sights he describes in such wondrous detail!

4.0 out of 5 stars 1930s style travel writing, 16 Dec 2002
By Chisnall Peter (Latina, Italy) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is 1930s style travel writing and not necessarily politically correct. It is rather tame compared to the Brysons and Therouxs of our day, but contains much more information. I was born and educated in Wales, but we were never taught this sort of Welsh history in school. An excellent read but don't expect the sparkle of latter day travel writers.
