welsh traditions and traits
With a foreword from Cerys Matthews, formerly lead singer of Catatonia
Welsh Traditions and Traits delves into the historical associations of those distinctly Welsh customs that live on in Welsh society today. From leeks and laverbread to Cockles and Coracles, Mountains and Moorlands to the iconic Sunday School trips to the seaside, Welsh Traditions and Traits explores the history behind the way of life enjoyed in Wales today, and explains some of the more mysterious aspects of Welsh culture to the uninitiated. For anyone who’s ever wondered why leeks are synonymous with the Welsh, why Wales is known as the land of song or what Welsh Cakes are, this is the book for you.
