A Welsh Eye

It is a very personal book--Gwyn Thomas's not a guidebook (though the reader learns much about places off the tourist track); not a solemn sociological study (though the chequered story of Welsh life in this century is the author's story too); but the idiosyncratic testament of one Welshman's love for his country and his compatriots, at times moving, often hilarious, shot through with insights no outsider could possess and sharpened by criticisms no outsider would dare make.
