with Elwy but much to do with St. Ellyw. Again, the note on Tretower is most misleading: it mentions the tower of Picard's castle and implies that the Vaughan family was associated with it. It does not mention the marvellous Tretower court, which did belong to the Vaughans and is a 'must' for any tourist. Theophilus is put 'among Welsh immortals', but clearly he is, like most classics, respected rather than read. Likewise, a glance at Lloyd's Owen Glendower would show the authors that Owain in his maternal line was not associated with Treffgarne near Haverfordwest but with Trefgarnowen, near Brawdy. Glances at the Dictionary of Welsh Biography (again not in the bibliography) would have prevented many obvious slips: Evan and James James (not Evan and John James) were the composers of 'Hen Wlad fy Nhadau'. This brings me to what seems to have gone wrong in this book: the authors have not paid attention to the right books about Wales. This comes out clearly in the bibliography, which is meant to be 'useful for further study'. Only the most dedicated Arthurian will track down articles in Aryan Path, Vol. XXXIX. The reader is not directed to the works of Professors David Williams and Glanmor Williams, nor to G. D. Owen's Elizabethan Wales, nor even to the Ministry of Works guides to monuments in north and south Wales, let alone the works of Nash-Williams. Whereas an article by Mr. Bartrum in 1932 is mentioned, there is no word about his Early Welsh Genealogies; an article of 1932 on the French Invasion of 1797 is mentioned, but not a word on E. H. Stuart- Jones's Last Invasion of Britain (1950). For sheer perversity this would be hard to beat: Thomas Parry's Hanes Llenyddiaeth Gymraeg is mentioned, but not the Bell translation of it into English published not so recently. How can one take seriously a bibliography of medieval Wales that has no word of Glanmor Williams's Welsh Church ? As for books on modern Wales, the authors see fit to mention Edward Thomas's Beautiful Wales (1905), but nothing by Maxwell Fraser, Alwyn Rees or something more recent like Gerald Morgan's Dragon's Tongue. This work, I fear, deserves little Croeso '69 from historians, and represents a decline in standard since Mr. Verey's Shell Guide to Mid- Wales and Mr. Rees's Shell Guide to South- West Wales.
