| Publisher Description: Sir John Pryce of Newtown Hall died in 1761. He kept the embalmed bodies of his first two wives on either side of his bed--until his third wife insisted that they were removed. America is named after a Welshman, and the Holy Grail is kept in a bank vault in West Wales . . . This book contains hundreds of "strange but true" facts and anecdotes about Welsh history. Arranged into a miniature history of Wales, and with true tales for every era, it will fascinate readers everywhere. |
