  A fascinating collection of stories from Welsh history collected from Phil Carradice's popular BBC Wales blog, gathered together for the first time in a book.

  Among the incredible stories are...

  • The man from Clydach who invented a Death Ray
  • The Welsh aristocrat whose parrot once bit Herman Goering on the nose
  • The witch who cursed the launch of a warship at Pembroke Dockyard
  • The battle that was won by a herd of cows

  These stories are part and parcel of Welsh heritage and make history interesting.
