Summary

The Story of Wales explores a country constantly on the move and connected with the wider world, and a people who have reacted with energy and invention to changing times and opportunities. Revisiting major turning points in Welsh history—from the fledgling Welsh state under Llywelyn the Last and the ravages of the Black Death, through to its transformation into an economic power and its participation in the creation of a modern British Welfare State—Jon Gower reexamines many of the myths and misconceptions about Wales and the Welsh, uncovering rich evidence of its outward-looking dynamism and its important role on the world stage. The Story of Wales is an epic account of Welsh history for a new generation.

Author Biography

Jon Gower is a former BBC Wales arts and media correspondent and a documentary maker for television and radio. He has 11 books to his name, in both Welsh and English, including An Island Called Smith, which gained him the John Morgan travel writing prize, and Uncharted, a novel described by Jan Morris as "unflagging and unfailingly inventive." In 2009 he was awarded a major Creative Wales award to explore the Welsh settlement in Patagonia. Jon is currently a Hay Festival International Fellow. Huw Edwards is a BAFTA-award winning journalist, presenter, and newsreader. Welshspeaking Huw joined the BBC in 1984 and became a familiar face during his time on BBC Six O'Clock News. Since then, he has covered numerous key national events, is a regular on a range of BBC News programs, including as lead newsreader on the BBC News at Ten, and has presented a variety of documentaries on British and Welsh history and culture.
