In Search of Wales

When H. V. Morton sett out for Wales over seventy years ago, his only previous visit had been twenty years earlier in the unsuccessful pursuit of a girl he loved in Pwllheli.This time, he went to write a book that would capture something of the soul of the country and its people ‘“ a people, as he notes, who have managed to retain their language and their individuality though they are the smallest of nations in the British Isles.Endlessly curious, chatty, erudite and entertaining, Morton is the perfect companion as he travels from the agricultural north to the industrial south, pausing on the way to gossip with those he meets, indulge in wickedly funny speculation and pass on a remarkable amount of fascinating detail and information.By a natural raconteur and a consummate travel writer, In Search of Wales ‘“ like its companion volumes on England, Scotland and Ireland ‘“ remains one of the best books ever written about that country, as vivid and engaging today as it was on first publication.
