Review
This is one of a series of glossy forty-page booklets on various aspects of Welsh life. Gomer have commissioned a different author for each publication and celebrities contribute a brief foreword. Highlights of Welsh History is a good basic introduction to the subject and the choice of Phil Carradice as author could not be better. Both in print and on radio he has done much to popularise the subject. Despite the modest nature of the publication, it manages to cover a diversity of key events from the arrival of the Celts to the establishment of the National Assembly. As is the case with other titles in the series, the publication has some splendid illustrations. One of the most striking is of Ray Gravell dressed in the fighting garb of Owain Glyndwr. In his foreword, Simon Weston writes that Highlights of Welsh History bears testimony to the resilience and ingenuity of a country which has entered the 21st century with a degree of autonomy that it has not enjoyed since Owain Glyndwrs rebellion. This booklet deserves to sell well at all tourist outlets.
