Description
By Owen M. Edwards. Here is the story of the nation of Wales, written in the days before the poison of political correctness destroyed simple factual accounts of the history of our people.
Told in the classic, clear, and unambiguous style of historians unfettered by the demands to be “politically correct,” these classic works are a treasure trove of facts and history which will not be found in the modern “court historian” version which have been censored by the powers-that-be.
First published in 1902. A beautiful reproduction of an amazing book from a prominent nationalist Welshman who was punished as a child for speaking the old language of his ancestors.
