This charming book was published originally in 1938. It well deserves to see the light of the day again. Its main virtue is its historical accuracy; these stories are very well researched and are based on sound historical evidence.
Some imagination and invention has naturally been involved in re-telling these scenes, but the presentation of incident and setting is remarkably truthful. These are stories for children; they are especially suited for schools, Junior and Secondary, who are studying Welsh History. The illustrations where they depict people, show them in costume which is true to the period.
These eighteen stories are located in every corner of Wales and the Marches, including Chepstow, Whitecastle, Ludlow and Chester.
The style of these stories is simple and straightforward, very suitable for reading aloud. Dialogue enhances the sense of character and place.
Many an eight-year-old will be enthralled and will remember some of this material for the rest of his life.
