With the expansion of the Park boundaries to include much of Meirionydd/Merioneth, this volume was produced to replace the earlier New Naturalist, Snowdonia, in which the emphasis was on Caernarvonshire. This is New Naturalist number 47. Bill Condry produced this book to describe the new, expanded Snowdonia National Park, when the boundaries of the Park were widened to include much of Meirionydd.

After a reign of terror and sudden death, it ebbed away as mysteriously as it had come. . The general reader . will find here a clear, incisive, well-marshalled command of the established facts, informed by an imaginative sympathy without which history is nothing.".
