Armed with a fierce curiosity, an unquenchable thirst for local ale, and a passionate—if idiosyncratic—mastery of the Welsh language, Borrow immersed himself in the heart of 19th-century Welsh life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the dramatic peaks of Snowdonia down to the coalfields of the South, Wild Wales captures an unforgettable portrait of a land on the cusp of modern change. Along his winding journey, Borrow engages in over a hundred spirited encounters with local bards, innkeepers, farmers, and eccentric villagers. Rich in folklore, bardic history, and sharp observations, this classic narrative remains an affectionate, witty, and timeless celebration of Welsh heritage and identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGallery Books 1988\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnglish language\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaperback 768 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: very good:\u003c\/strong\u003e minimal scuffs and age related marks.
