Telling the Story of Welsh
Called the "language of heaven," Welsh is beautiful to speak, fascinating to learn and enchanting to hear. It's a musical language, liltingly poetic, and has long been the language of the hearth. But it is also the language of school, office and government, and is equally at home in TV, film and pop culture. This book is an informed and entertaining glance at the origins and history of the most vibrant of the Celtic languages.

Iorwerth C. Peate
Iorwerth C. Peate's outstanding achievement was to create a National Folk Museum at St. Fagans. It was Peate who dreamt of an open-air museum in Wales on the Scandinavian model where the visitor could view the way of life of past ages. It was he, too, more than anyone else, who strove to see the dream realized and to establish the study of folk life as a respected academic discipline in Britain. The story of these accomplishments, and of the opposition Peate encountered within the National Museum of Wales, for example is lucidly outlined by Catrin Stevens. She also presents a clear and useful appraisal of Peate's academic writing in the field of folk studies. "

This paperback edition of Hands Off Wales addresses the campaign of militant activism which Wales witnessed between 1963 and 1969.
