Embark on a journey through Wales with The Welsh Almanac, a month-by-month guide that showcases the country's landscapes, heritage, and traditions. Explore valleys, coastlines, tide tables, moon phases, and Welsh customs, alongside regional highlights and translated folk songs.With a mix of activities and recipes throughout, you can try your hand at making cawl, bara brith, crempogau (pancakes), or even crafting a lovespoon. Along the way, discover the stories behind traditions like the Mari Lwyd and the Eisteddfod, and enjoy snapshots of Wales's most stunning regions, from Snowdonia to the Brecon Beacons and the Pembrokeshire coast.
'A comprehensive yet magical love letter to Wales; a great gift for anyone who has fallen under Cymru's spell!' - Hanan Issa, National Poet of Wales'A delightful, informative compendium of Welsh language, landscapes, traditions and folklore. The Welsh Almanac is sure to be a fixture on my desk!' - Sophie Keetch, author of The Morgan Trilogy'The Welsh Almanac feels like a lovely, warm cwtch. I was reminded of how unique and beautiful Wales is, with all its history, culture and traditions. I could feel the beauty of Wales in each month and chapter, and definitely some hiraeth! A wonderful, accessible and enjoyable way to discover more about this magical country.' - Catrin Stewart
