DOWN THE ROAD AND ROUND THE BEND
Roy Noble (Graffeg)
As one of Wales’ proverbial national treasures, Roy Noble is perfectly placed to write a book like this. Down The Road and Round the Bend showcases Noble’s fount of knowledge when it comes to Welsh history and folklore; he’s compiled 20 short stories from all over Wales, along with countless other titbits picked up on his travels. Some stories you may have heard – but you’ve not read Roy’s version of them. It seems that every story within seems to prompt Roy to recount a personal tale. Even if he’s only passed through the area, such is his passion for Wales he’s able to remember every inch of road he’s trodden or a colourful character he’s met, and that’s what makes sets this book apart.
