Description

Wales has always been a land haunted by its own past and by legends about magicians and giant, Celtic saints and warrior princes. Mysterious Wales took Chris Barber to the many hidden parts of Wales and uncovered such a wealth of folklore that he was prompted to set out again for More Mysterious Wales. He roamed across hillsides seeking solitary monoliths, remote circles of stone, extraordinary burial chambers and mystical mounds. Seeking the superstitions of the Golden Age of the Celtic Saints he visited primitive churches, island sanctuaries and holy wells. Linking legend with history, an exciting new theory about King Arthur was revealed, identifying him as Arthwyr, King of Glamorgan and Gwent and solving the ancient riddle of his secret burial and final resting places. In this beautifully illustrated book, Chris Barber has compiled an absorbing sequel to Mysterious Wales. It is both a captivating guide for visitors to Wales and ideal fireside reading.
