In search of Wales

Morton H.V.

Published by Muthuen, softcover, illustrated.


In Search of Wales, first published in 1932, reveals a country and people of great charm and ancient heritage.

From the agricultural north to the industrial south, H.V. Morton's travels take him through a land of rich contrasts, from the majestic beauty of Snowdon and the bardic splendour of the Eisteddfod to the coalpits and industry of the valleys.

In crisp lively prose illuminated by gentle wit and affectionate humour, Morton's unfailing eye for detail succeeds in capturing much of the unchanging nature of Wales. It is this which characterises him as a natural raconteur and consummate travel writer.
