In this remarkable work Giraldus patriotically ascribes to his fellow countrymen an enthusiasm of intellect that enables them to excel in whatever they do and admires their speeches and songs. His skilful incorporation of quotations from Latin and Welsh with his own narrative is superb. He tells his readers how Wales is a difficult country to conquer and how it should be governed. Informative!
