A Gwynedd Anthology

Ian Skidmore's love affair with Gwynedd began 50 years ago, when, as a child, he was taken there for his first holiday. For him, the area still retains its haunting beauty and charm, from the sullen whims of its mountains to the golden sands of Lleyn. In this volume he assembles a wealth of writing on Gwynedd, a county steeped in history and containing Snowdonia National Park. We read of the impact of the land and sea on Gwynedd's inhabitants, of how travellers and poets viewed her, of her people - famous and infamous, grand and lowly, of her wildlife and of her mythology.
