Descripción

"The Journey" describes, in almost diary form, the mission to Wales undertaken in 1188 by Baldwin, Archbishop of Canterbury, with Gerald as his companion. It is crammed with a history of events in twelfth century Wales and lively accounts of local miracles, folklore and scenic descriptions. "The Description" is a detailed overview of the day-to-day existence of ordinary Welshmen, from what they ate and wore to how best they could fight and resist the English.331p. map, appendices, index.Some neat and discreet pencil notes and underlinings, otherwise a crisp tight copy.
