Sarn Helen: A Journey Through Wales, Past, Present and Future by Tom Bullough

3.0

I do like the Rob MacFarlane and came to this book with similar expectations. For me it didn't work quite as well as MacFarlane's books, for some reason the narrative felt a bit disjointed. It may just be me as the book has some interesting reflections on Welsh history, nature, environment and religion. I particularly enjoyed the tales of Welsh saints! Current concerns are passionately highlighted but not delivered in a doom laden way. Finally a real high point are the wonderful illustrations by Jackie Morris.
