Wales – Epic views of a small country –

– A revised edition of The Matter of Wales –

“Jan Morris’s magnificent book celebrates Wales and all things Welsh. Written as a deeply personal study, it reflects the rich bilingual literature and folklore of Wales, the buildings and wonderfully varied landscapes, the national character and humour, the historical predicaments and the political condition of this small but extraordinary country.

The book has become a classic since its first publication under the title The Matter of Wales: now that Wales is reinventing itself as a new kind of nation, on the threshold of an altogether new future, the work has been imaginatively revised throughout and equipped with sixteen pages of illustrations.

Jan Morris is a distinguished historian as well as being one of the world’s leading travel-writers. Her passionate love of Wales makes this a unique evocation.”
