Reviews / Votes
'Mike Benbough-Jackson's Cardiganshire volume is in a different league. If other volumes in the series match the quality of this one, then we will be in possession of a wonderful total history of Wales illuminated from its local roots for the first time. We are in no doubt at the end of this volume that we have read the work of a European historian of great promise. It is a measure of the distance that Welsh history has traveled in a generation. This is an inspired series whose time has come. Mike Benbough-Jackson is well served by the University of Wales Press, the book displaying the high editorial standards that we come to expect from this publisher, a national treasure as much as a national institution.'David Barnes, Planet 190More details
