BOOKS COUNCIL OF WALES BOOK OF THE MONTH August 2002 -

‘I'll go so far as to say it's a must for anyone with a drop of Welsh blood in them. Continuing his solo mission to make Wales' proud history more accessible or for that matter readable, in comparison to the huge dusty tomes hidden in darkened libraries, The Welsh Almanac is yet another success.’  This ‘wonderful book’ is for Welsh people to remember important historical events against days of the year. It includes over 300 Welsh saints' feast days, all formerly celebrated, and facts about famous Welsh people and events upon each day. For each day, there is also a quotation, tying in with the people and events of the day. A gold ribbon allows you to remember your place in the book, and an A-Z section allows for contacts and addresses to be added. ‘A prodigious work’. ‘A tremendous undertaking and a very worthwhile and absolutely fascinating addition to the library of Welsh history.’ ‘…will take its place on the shelf with other works of reference.’
