Review Quotes
Lore and Language
"This guide is certainly pocket-sized, but the depth and breadth of its contents are quite remarkable, and equal to what is often found in a much bulkier tome."
Rural Wales
"Owen has admirably succeeded in introducing his reader to a wealth of information on the social history, customs and traditions of Wales."
Welsh Historian
“Altogether the guide is immensely accessible and user‑friendly for both expert and layman. It is a pocket version in the best sense—comprehensive yet succinct.”
