Review Quotes
Roy Saer, Welsh Folk-Song Society
“One must warmly welcome a volume by a scholar who is now established as the foremost authority on this particular genre of native verse. And it is doubly gratifying to find our vibrant tradition of Valentine song being introduced here to readers beyond the bounds of Welsh-language culture itself.”
Rhidian Griffiths
“The art of composing, singing and sending Valentine verses is an old and honoured one. This detailed, scholarly analysis of a fine Welsh custom, with translations and tunes provided, reveals the significant part it has played in our folk tradition over the centuries.”
