Owain Glyndŵr, Prince of Wales

Skidmore, Ian

C. Davies

<p>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.</p>

History

<p>Journalist, broadcaster and author IAN SKIDMORE collects rare books and fine wines by choice and unlikely anecdotes and engaging eccentrics almost by accident. His first, hilarious, account of such encounters was celebrated a quarter of a century ago in the first edition of this book. The Liverpool Daily Post said its publication identified him as 'the successor to Tom Sharpe' and actor Ian Carmichael described it as 'a comic masterpiece'. Wales on Sunday said it would be a 'hard act to follow'. It was chosen as BBC Book of the Year, had the highest listening figures on Radio Four, and was read twice on the BBC Overseas Service. The Daily Post described Ian Skidmore as Wales' funniest columnist, the Western Mail as 'a great eccentric'. Now, revisited, revised, and expanded to more than twice its original length it is being published in this special edition.</p>

This fascinating memoir of Sir Kyffin Williams addresses his strongly held views on art, his involvement in the creation of galleries, and, in particular, his long affliction with epilepsy, which had profound effects on both his professional and personal lives. Thoroughly researched from primary sources, this revealing book about Wales' most significant artist also contains a series of essays, all of which contribute to the style of this best-loved Welsh artist.
