From age to age, from locality to locality, over and over we see the same story throughout Wales. Assault, resistance, survival: this is the story that forged one country out of valleys large and small. These stories and ballads take us to every corner of Wales, celebrating variety and weaving it all together into one volume.
Battles for Wales by Myrddin ap Dafydd, translated into English by Susan Walton (Llanrwst: Gwasg Garreg Gwalch, 2017), £5.95.
The armies of the kings and princes of Wales faced the Romans on Caer Caradog, the Irish on Anglesey, the Saxons at Offa's Dyke, the Vikings on Llandudno's dunes and Normans in their castles. These were battles for Wales and its people, and the campaigns continued through industrial disputes, protests against valley drownings, and in support of language rights.
