This authoritative guide to the southwest corner of Wales by three local experts encompasses a wide sweep of history, from the rugged prehistoric remains that stud the distinctive windswept landscape overlooking the Atlantic to distinguished recent buildings that respond imaginatively to their natural setting. The comprehensive gazetteer encompasses the great cathedral of St David's and its Bishop's Palace, the numerous churches, and the magnificent Norman castles that reflect the turbulent medieval past. It gives attention also to the lesser-known delights of Welsh chapels--both simple rural and sophisticated Victorian examples--in all their wayward variety and provides detailed accounts of a rewarding range of towns, including the county town, Haverfordwest, the attractively unspoilt Regency resort of Tenby, and Milford Haven and Pembroke Dock, with their important naval history. An introduction with valuable specialist contributions sets the buildings in context.

Pembrokeshire, often referred to as 'Gwlad yr Hud' (the Enchanted Land), is home to a rich and diverse collection of tales – from the ancient saga of the Mabinogion, and stories of Owain Glyndŵr, to accounts of smugglers, haunted vessels and pirates. The village of Brynberian has been tormented by the gigantic and frightful Afanc; fishermen from St Dogmaels have been forewarned of storms by mermaids; and captivating princesses have been kidnapped from Cilgerran Castle. These stories, beautifully illustrated by the author, bring to life the landscape of the county's spectacular coastline and rolling hills. Christine Willison has told stories all over the world since 1982, when she created and ran 'Bookbug', bringing books and stories to schoolchildren across East Anglia. She tells yarns from many traditions in schools, arts centres, stately homes and parks.

Experience a colorful year in the life of a novelist and her partner as they run a Glastonbury witchcraft supply shop in this charming memoir. While some might know Glastonbury for its five-day music festival, the Somerset market town is also known as a center of pilgrimage and miracles. For over a thousand years, visitors have come to Glastonbury for Christ, the goddess, the god, angels, and fairies, as well as solutions and answers. It is also where novelist Liz Williams met Trevor Jones, the owner of a witchcraft shop. Their relationship began to flourish, and in 2005, Liz took the plunge and moved from Brighton to Glastonbury to live and work with Trevor. Her life would never be the same . . . In Diary of a Witchcraft Shop, Liz and Trevor share anecdotes from the course of one year in their lives. Experience the eccentric day-to-day life of a small business in a tourist town, with staff troubles and quirky customers. Get a glimpse of the pagan world, its rituals, and its holidays. Travel with Liz and Trevor to the Houses of Parliament, Ireland, Brittany, and elsewhere. There are also plenty of surprises, too, like Shetland ponies and the TARDIS. Full of humor as well as insightful observations from life’s light-hearted—and sometimes dark—moments, Diary of a Witchcraft Shop shows that sometimes life is stranger than fiction.
