A History of Wales: From the Norman Invasion to the Edwardian Conquest (Barnes & Noble Library of Essential Reading) »

<%PUBCOMMENTS%>A History of Wales: From the Norman Invasion to the Edwardian Conquest was published in 1911 as the first survey of the history of early Wales ever compiled. It provides a concise, easily read and understood odyssey through many ages of Welsh history. Although factual, Lloyd s History does not diminish in any way the dark brooding texture of the culture that comes from its mist-enshrouded myths and legends. Consequently, this work is well able to inform the intellect of the historian on a search for verifiable truth and fact and still stimulate the imagination.<%END%>
