Publisher Description:
The first volume: Cardiffian Peter Finch discovers the real Cardiff: lost rivers, Roman forts, holy wells, Arthurian knights, itinerant poets, the old race course, the revitalised city centre, the redeveloped Cardiff Bay - 'Europe's most exciting waterfront' - as he travels the city from east to west and north to south. This is offbeat topographical writing, peppered with Finch's poems, which will enthrall the native, the visitor and the armchair traveller. Peter Finch is a poet who has been at the centre of Cardiff's literary life for thirty years. Formerly the manager of the Oriel Bookshop, he is now Director of Academi, the writer's organisation for Wales. In horse racing parlance it's odds on that this book will be just as popular as the first two which went into reprints.
